CLEVELAND ( PLUS) EQUATION * POLLUTION + YOUR LUNGS = MITTAL'S FILTER SYSTEMSubmitted by Jeff Buster on November 14, 2007 - 1:10pm.

Picked up from CoolCleveland.com Mittal Steel & Your Health Join Cleveland area doctors, nurses, and community leaders for a public hearing on the topic Wed 11/14 at 6:30PM at Tri-C’s downtown Metro campus in room CC10. Light refreshments will be served. Come to find out why 375 Cleveland area doctors and nurses have written to Cleveland’s biggest polluter, Mittal Steel, urging pollution prevention. Dr. Kathleen Fagan from University Hospital's Swetland Environmental Health Center will speak at the event paneled by Dr. Anne Wise, Kim Foreman, and Dr. Dan Brustein. For more information or ridesharing contact Liz Ilg with Ohio Citizen Action at 861-5200. http://www.ohiocitizen.org Photo of Mittal externalities at night from Broadway over 490 taken two weeks ago. UPDATE: I just returned from attending this meeting. This was the most "civic" - as in regular people from the neighborhood - I have attended in several years in NEO. Lots of people under 35 years old. That's encouraging. More than 100 attended including Lisa Hong, from eQuest Strategies. Lisa and her partner David Nash work for Mittal and help "manage" the corporation's environmental issues. Lisa told me she is “trying to help from the inside”. Rapping kids get arrested in Cleveland for too many amps blasting out of their cars, but Mittal shoots a million pounds of particulates into the neighborhood annually and, under federal “clean air” guidelines, that’s legal.
