活动家敦促Chillicothe解决封闭工厂的有毒地下水问题,担心健康和基础设施风险。 Activists urged Chillicothe to address toxic groundwater from a closed factory, fearing health and infrastructure risks.

活跃分子Jason Salley和Jamie Brown于2025年9月敦促Chillicothe市议会处理被封闭的Wear-Ever/Homet工厂场地的地下水污染问题,其中引用了东大道1089号设施下的一个工业化学品流。 Activists Jason Salley and Jamie Brown urged the Chillicothe City Council in September 2025 to address groundwater pollution from the shuttered Wear-Ever/Howmet factory site, citing a plume of industrial chemicals beneath the facility at 1089 Eastern Avenue. Salley曾对枪支暴力表示关切,他批评该理事会无视他在这两个问题上的呼声,并呼吁进行全面流行病学研究,以评估有毒场所与当地癌症发病率之间的潜在联系。 Salley, who previously raised concerns about gun violence, criticized the council for ignoring his pleas on both issues and called for a full epidemiological study to assess the potential link between toxic sites and local cancer rates. 他还对污染可能对该城市废水处理厂造成的影响表示关切。 He also expressed concern about the pollution’s possible impact on the city’s wastewater treatment plant.
