Braddock already carries some of the highest cancer and asthma rates in the region - and residents worry U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel's proposed hot strip mill at the Edgar Thomson Plant will make it worse. @BreatheProject youtube.com/shorts/eVSyKugDk…

🔴 LIVE NOW: ACHD is hosting a public meeting on the proposed hot strip mill at Nippon/U.S. Steel’s Edgar Thomson Works.
This mill would increase air pollution by about 43% in a community that’s already overburdened.

A fresh coat of paint on Braddock’s Edgar Thomson plant won’t erase years of pollution.
And it doesn’t change what a proposed hot strip mill would bring: a projected 43% increase in PM2.5 in the heart of Braddock.

Kids in Braddock shouldn't have to breathe 40% more of the tiny particles that harm their growing bodies (PM2.5). That's what a proposed hot strip mill at Nippon / U.S. Steel's Edgar Thomson Works would bring. Protect the children. Clean the air.

Tense meeting in Braddock over new strip mill leaves residents frustrated. @RobPratte Saturday morning @KDKARadio kdkaradio.com

Around 120 Braddock residents attended the Allegheny County Health Department public meeting on the proposed hot strip mill at Nippon/U.S. Steel’s Edgar Thomson Works last night.
Many asked thoughtful questions about what more pollution would mean for their neighborhood, including a projected 43% increase in PM2.5 in the heart of Braddock.
The biggest question in the room: how can we ask an overburdened community to take on even more pollution?

A huge plume of smoke rose from Nippon/U.S. Steel’s Edgar Thomson Works in Braddock yesterday. We don’t know what happened, but does it look like an explosion? 👀
Ask yourself: Does Nippon/U.S. Steel deserve an air permit for a new hot strip mill?
