Letter

Health Risks in Barnstead

I heard from my young neighbor, who is a student at the Barnstead Elementary School, that the administration was not allowing children to play outside in lieu of the recent diagnosis of a local emu with triple - E (Eastern Equine Encephalitis). An over reaction, since mosquitoes are not out in the middle of the day.


Yet, despite medical evidence of health risks to children and the elderly, I have  not heard of any reaction against the siting of the biomass plant in the middle of town by these same health workers and local officials.


I have asked every medical doctor that I have met over the last few years, for their professional opinion - regarding the risks of siting a wood fired boiler in a residential district, less than 3/4 of a mile from an elementary school. Every one of these physicians, two of whom had been running a community clinic for over thirty years, responded simply to my question, “Bad idea.” When pressed further with details about the super heated air which was supposed to remove much of the “bad pollutants” before being released into the atmosphere, all replied, that as the molecular structure had been altered by this process, the air was unhealthy to breathe.


So, protect your children from mosquito bites and then pollute the air they breathe. Makes no sense to me.


Respectfully,
Gail Darrell, COBALD
