What is the current situation regarding air quality?
The results of the air monitoring over the past few days indicate benzene levels continue to decrease. However, as the cleanup process continues there may be situations where chemicals released from the oil into the air cause odors. EPA will continue to monitor the air to ensure that public health is protected during the entire clean-up process.
What if I have health concerns related to the oil spill?
If you live or work in an area affected by the spill and have a health concern, you should contact your physician. If you have questions about the potential impacts of air emissions on your health, call the Calhoun County Health Department, 269-969-6341.
