SNA has long argued that the impact of a large institution like Miriam on the surrounding community must be examined and planned for. Possible health impacts from waste and emissions have been a longstanding source of concern. But, facts and standards for expectations have been lacking. This seminar would provide a framework for reasonably assessing whether Miriam may have any impacts on our health and what they might be.<br><br>
If you breathe air in Summit, you probably have an interest in what floats down from the smokestack at our neighborhood's highest point. Give me a call if you are interested in carpooling to attend.<br><br>
