Toxic Birmingham
The main contributors to the toxic air in Birmingham are major factories such as the ABC coke plant. The EPA and all organizations alike are not doing enough to help the neighborhoods around these areas. Families are not able to move because no one wants to buy their property and they all low income and unable to afford to own or to pay for multiple properties. Birmingham air pollution affects me because I live in Birmingham. I have friends that have lived in other places and notice the difference in the air quality. As a person who has lived in the city most of their life, I did not think anything special about poor air quality. I had no idea that the air is so poor due to large corporations that do not care about the community.
