Denise Valdez two different Public Health dangers. One common theme. paul joncich the iteams george knapp uncovers the similarities between the governments response to asbestos in southern nevada. Announcer now nevadaschoice for news. This is 8 news now at 4. paul joncich federal investigators from several agencies are trying to determine if criminal charges should be filed in flint michigan related to the contamination of that citys water supply. Denise Valdez tens of thousands of residents were exposed to Dangerous Levels of lead in their drinking water. It appears that state officials knew about the dangers but failed to act. To some nevadans, the circumstances in flint sound all too familiar. paul joncich for more than a year, the iteam has been following the story of how nevada officials have handled a concernasbest os. As george knapp explains. While in michigan. Water. Here in nevada, the concern is asbestos in the air. In his younger years, former nevada congressman jim bilbray was an avid hiker in the hills around boulder city. After he developed breathing problems, it took years of misdiagnosis for doctors to finally figure out his condition was likely caused by asbestos in the desert dust he inhaled long ago. Jim bilbray former congressman 3235 i have to go to rehab a couple of times a week, breathing exercises, which i have to for the rest of my life. You cannot get better. You can only hope to not get worse. How does bilbrays Health Problem relate to lead in the water supply of flint michigan . When the story about flint first broke, it struck a chord with brenda buck. Rod metcalf its dj vu , i mean, is what i thought. Brenda buck there is no amount of lead that is safe, which is exactly what we are dealing with here, with asbestos. Its been more than five years since the two medical geologists first found evidence of widespread natural asbestos deposits in southern nevada. Their team also detected a suspicious spike in asbestos related disease. State Health Officials here reacted to the asbestos news in much the same way officials in michigan reacted to lead in the water supplythey ignored it, stifled the evidence, then attacked the credibility of the scientists who found it. Internal emails obtained by the iteam reveal that, contrary to their public statements, nevada Health Officials tried to stop the publication of the asbestos data because they disagreed with the findings. They also plotted to attack the credibility of the scientists and launched a p. R. Campaign to sway public opinion. Dr. Rod metcalf 2805 ish its easy to get upset at a personal integrity or competence but what really upset me is they didnt question their own knowledge. Brenda buck 2925ish thats whats so heartbreaking to me. The emails suggest they are so focused on attacking us, instead of getting to the bottom of the sick. How much asbestos are people being exposed to . One reason state Health Officials have been able to dodge the central issue is that it takes years, even decades, for asbestos disease to develop. The true costs are not immediately obvious. Its the same story for lead. The full extent of the damage from drinking flints water wont be known for many years. It is much easier to measure lead in the water, or in a persons body, than it is to measure asbestos exposure from the air. Buck and metcalf say thats the central unanswered question. Brenda 2422 what we need repeating over and over is we need to find out how much asbestos is in the air and how much people are getting exposed to when they do activities out in the desert for example, the horse park in boulder city is surrounded by asbestos. So is this elementary schooland the Nevada State College in hendersonho w much exposure do people get from routine activities at each location . Rod metcalf we should look, and thats not happening. In michigan, once the story exploded and the state could no longer ignore the problem, federal agencies entered the picture. In nevada, when state Health Officials were confronted at a Public Meeting in boulder city back in september, they vowed to invite the epa into the state. Azzam. Nat popi dont object to it. So, did it happen . No. State epidemiologist dr. Azzam did write to the epa and ask for help, but the carefully intervention by epa scientists, only information that could be the public. In emails to the iteam federal epa officials confirmed that the cavalry is not riding to nevadas rescue after all. Still, buck and metcalf took one more stab at it. They went over the heads of the state Health Officials who had tried to shut them down by writing directly to governor sandoval. The response from the governors chief of staff was a let downit praised the work of the two top Health Officials for quote working tirelessly to protect, educate, and serve the people. Rod 2920 ish i dont think theyve changed their stance from october 2012, theyve learned nothing. paul joncich tracey green, the director of the sprawling health and Human Services department for the state, is stepping down to take a job at unlv. Her agency, however, still clings to the idea that asbestos poses no risk. Now, other agencies are sidestepping the health the city of henderson and state division of Environmental Protection are leading the way toward a comprehensive field study of asbestos risks. We will have more on that in the days ahead. In the meantime, weve compiled our previous asbestos reports in one place on our website.

This is 8 news now at 4. paul joncich penny slot machines are more popular than ever. Denise Valdez my family searches those machines out whenever they come to town Jeremy Aguero from applied analysis joins us to explain why theyre more popular than ever. Jeremy Aguero there was a time not that long ago when it was just about impossible to find a penny slot machine. Casinos didnt have very many, and those they did have were usually tucked into the furthest corners of the casino floor. Thats not the case anymore. The number of penny slot machines in nevada has grown 20fold since 2001, even as the total number of slot machines on casino floors has declined by 42,000. Penny slots have increased from one in ten slot machines on casino floors to about four in ten. The reason for this growth is simple penny slots are popular. Last year, gamblers dropped 28. 3 billion into penny slot machines, which was nearly as much as the bets made at all table games combined. Thats 2. 8 trillion pennies. Of course, todays slot machines allow for bets far greater than a single penny, often several dollars or more per spin. So gamblers playing penny slots can be betting just as much, if not more, than players at machines with much higher minimums. It wasnt that long ago that growth in gaming revenue was largely attributable to baccarat, a highstakes table game favore by asian high rollers. Baccarat tables produced 1. 3 billion in casino win last year; penny slot machines reported 2. 9 billion. In fact, today, penny slot machines account for a quarter of all nevada gross gaming revenue.
