Steel mill
The PPG teel mill in Braddock is causing health issues for the residents and surrounding area.
Why is this important?
I am a resident of Braddock. I own my home and have been in the area for about 10 years now. Not only can't we enjoy sitting on our porch because of the smell of the steel mill, but the dirt and debris are unbearable. We can’t even open a window in our home to get fresh air or a cool breeze. I am also concerned with the health of my daughters and me. Since we’ve lived in the area, we have had a lot of respiratory issues that we weren’t experiencing before. I am a taxpayer and it’s not fair to me or other residents. The CEO, managers, and employees who work in the mill don’t have to live and put up with the environmental issues, so why should we?
