🛢TOXIC CHILLICOTHE:

PAINT STREET LANDFILL aka OLD MEAD DUMP

Landfills can cause long-lasting contamination. This is a map from a recent report regarding soil and groundwater sampling from the former MEAD dump. Large quantities of arsenic and manganese continue to permeate the area surrounding the site.

High concentrations of manganese and arsenic in groundwater and soil pose a serious threat to human health and the environment.

Manganese is an essential nutrient for humans, but too much manganese can be toxic. Exposure to high levels of manganese can cause a variety of health problems, including:

*Neurological symptoms, such as tremors, slowness of movement, and difficulty with balance and coordination

*Cognitive problems, such as memory loss and difficulty concentrating

*Psychiatric problems, such as anxiety and depression

*Parkinson's disease-like symptoms

*Respiratory problems

*Reproductive problems

*Developmental delays in children

Arsenic is a known human carcinogen. Long-term exposure to arsenic in drinking water can increase the risk of developing several types of cancer, including bladder cancer, kidney cancer, lung cancer, and skin cancer. Arsenic can also cause a variety of other health problems, including:

*Skin lesions, such as hyperpigmentation and keratosis

*Cardiovascular disease

*Diabetes

*Respiratory problems

*Neurological problems

*Reproductive problems

*Developmental delays in children

In addition to the health risks, high concentrations of manganese and arsenic in groundwater and soil can also have a negative impact on the environment. For example, manganese can contaminate rivers and streams, making it toxic to aquatic life. Arsenic can also contaminate plants and crops, making them unsafe for human consumption.

Here are some specific examples of the dangers of high concentrations of manganese and arsenic in groundwater and soil:

In Bangladesh, millions of people are exposed to high levels of arsenic in drinking water. This has led to a widespread epidemic of arsenicosis, a chronic disease that can cause a variety of health problems, including cancer, skin lesions, and heart disease.

In the United States, high levels of manganese have been found in groundwater in some areas. This has led to concerns about the potential health risks for people who drink this water, especially for children and pregnant women.

In China, high levels of arsenic have been found in soil in some areas. This has led to concerns about the safety of crops grown in this soil and the potential health risks for people who eat these crops.

⚠️ Contaminant: Lead

Radioactive PCB oil stored in cylinders outside is a serious environmental and public health hazard.

PCBs are a group of chemicals that were widely used in electrical equipment and other products until they were banned in the 1970s because they are cancer-causing and can also damage the nervous system and reproductive systems.

When radioactive PCB oil is stored outside, it can leak into the soil and groundwater, contaminating drinking water supplies and harming wildlife. It can also volatilize into the air, where it can be inhaled by people and animals.

Exposure to radioactive PCB oil can cause a variety of health problems, including:

Cancer
Neurological disorders
Reproductive problems
Developmental delays in children
Immune system suppression

Yet, tons and tons of it are stored in some of these rusted cylinders at Piketon.
