Yesterday afternoon we were driving by the Conoco Phillips plant here in Mossville when we saw a school bus driving under the chemical pipelines. Everyday on the way to and from school the children are driven by a number of chemical plants including Conoco, Georgia Gulf, and Sasol. The smell along this road is unbelievable. I was outside of the car for a few minutes taking pictures and by the time I got back in my eyes and lungs were burning. I can't believe children have to ride through this everyday.
This morning a lady who had participated in our door to door survey yesterday called us to come look at her water. She lives basically right between the Conoco Phillips and Georgia Gulf plants and this is what was coming out of her tap:
The longer we ran the tap the browner the water got.
