“It looks like Mars Hill.”
Quiet #industrial #exposure + #unanswered #cancer fears
Mars Hill #Indianapolis represents neighborhoods that:
grew alongside #rail #yards #coal #facilities and #industry
absorbed #pollution #slowly over #decades
were never formally declared “toxic” until much later
The harm here is:
#chronic #exposure to #carcinogens like #PAHs from #coal #tar
#contamination “discovered” after people were already sick
#community #reports of #cancer without the kind of #data #courts #demand
Mars Hill looks like:
#contamination acknowledged
#causation disputed
#cleanup late
#justice #incomplete
This is #environmental #harm that stays #local and #personal often #invisible #outside the #neighborhood
