Local Nurse Practicioner Deborah Hartley testifies against BioMassacre

Local Nurse Practicioner Deborah Hartles cites and gives expert testimony against the proposed Adage BioMassacre. She warns there is no safe level of exposure to the massive amounts of PM2.5 particles which will escape Adage's 'bag house' unimpeded. She tells of how exposure leads to lung and heart disease as well as diabetes. She describes the non-point unregulated pollution from the expected fleet of diesel trucks which are predicted to emit 7x the pollution from the Adage incinerator itself, how this will sicken children and the elderly among the most vulnerable. Finally, Deb adds that Mason County ranks 35th out of 37 Washington Counties as almost the worst for the health of its residents.
