Protect Communities from Toxic Coal Ash

Take action at www.sierraclub.org/coalash. Right now communities across the country are exposed to heavy metals such as arsenic, lead and mercury when hazardous materials from coal ash disposal sites seep into our drinking water, contributing to serious health problems.. The EPA is holding a public comment period on new, federally enforceable standards to protect Americans, but the coal industry is fighting back, trying to put their profits before our health. Help us give the EPA the support it needs to stand up to King Coal by sending a message at sierraclub.org/coalash

Coal ash waste is not just an issue of destroying water and air. It has gone far beyond that. Coal ash waste may have been used as a weapon during the 20th century. The hazards of coal ash waste were published in a 1911 Public Health Manual. However, during the ERA of racial zoning and Jim Crow segregation, coal ash waste was used as fill dirt in public housing, schools, apartments, and other construction in many segregated neighborhoods in the south.
