THE NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION HAS ISSUED
A CODE ORANGE AIR QUALITY ALERT FRIDAY FOR OCEAN COUNTY.
IT MEANS THAT AIR POLLUTION CONCENTRATIONS WITHIN THE REGION MAY BECOME UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS. SENSITIVE GROUPS INCLUDE CHILDREN...PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM ASTHMA... HEART DISEASE OR OTHER LUNG DISEASES...AND THE ELDERLY. THE EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION CAN
BE MINIMIZED BY AVOIDING STRENUOUS ACTIVITY OR EXERCISE OUTDOORS.
The largest producer of man made CO2 produced in our region is our own Cogeneration plant in the Center of Lakewood. A serious study needs to be done to see what the effects are on the people and especially children of our town. Perhaps the 500 thousand dollars and a free minivan were not worth all the problems it is causing.
