i grew up in a coal mining and coke oven area. worse pollution than a coal power plant and i am still here. this was long before there were any air quality standards. coal ash is not safe for humans of any age so this is why this power plant must adhere to strict air pollution standards. be active do your research and attend any local meetings regarding this plant safety but basically your toddler should be fine. i suspect the plant is meeting environmental air quality standards but you will need to check.
is it safe for a 17 month old to live 2 miles from a coal power plant? . we live near a romeoville il plant that the gov is putting restrictions on & the environmentalists say the coal ash is not safe for anyone.
