About the Event
On the menu: Join us for a luncheon with GEC personnel to provide an update on our Let’s Clear The Air program! We will share information on the history of GEC's work on air quality in Glynn County and air quality information we have collected over the past few years. Additionally, we will preview anticipated activities through our EPA Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem Solving grant award.
Brief History:
Brunswick and Glynn County, GA have had a long and truncated history of air quality impairments impacting the health and quality of life of citizens. Residents routinely complain about air quality and question what is in their air. Some of the air contaminants reported by two major Brunswick industries to EPA’s Toxic Release Inventory include but are not limited to, ammonia, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrogen sulfide. Tens to hundreds of thousands of pounds of these chemicals are discharged into the air each year.
