Living near a Superfund site could cut life short


Superfund sites could reduce the life expectancy for people living in nearby communities by as much as 1.2 years, according to a new study.
In the first nationwide study of its kind, researchers used advanced statistical modeling techniques at the census tract level to examine the impact of contaminated areas in unprecedented detail.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, a Superfund site refers to thousands of sites that exist “nationally due to hazardous waste being dumped, left out in the open, or otherwise improperly managed.” This includes manufacturing facilities, processing plants, landfills, and mining sites.
These places tend to negatively affect nearby air, water, and soil quality, meaning those living in close proximity are potentially exposed to toxic chemicals through dermal contact, ingestion, and inhalation. ....

HOUSTON - (Feb. 1, 2021) - When aboveground storage tanks fail during a storm and their toxic contents spread, the threat to human health can and probably will flow downwind of the immediate area.
Rice University engineers have developed a model to quantify what could happen when a hurricane or other natural disaster causes such damage based on data gathered from the Houston Ship Channel, the largest petrochemical complex in the United States, during and after two hurricanes, Ike in 2008 and Harvey in 2017. ....
