0 Comment
St. Paul’s East Side is finding it hard to breathe deep. According to the American Lung Association an adult person takes about 20,000 breaths a day, or about 7.5 million inhale-exhales a year. Pollutants like lead, arsenic, and other particulate matter cause serious health issues for humans and per the Minnesota Department of Health there is no safe level of lead exposure in humans.
