Galvanizing Effort
Fighting For Cleaner Air
The North American Galvanizing Action Group - Jonathan Gilligan, Judy Hoskins, RC Bartlett, Susan Henderson, Bruce Wood - has been vigilant for the past five years in trying to clean up the air and noise pollution that is given off from the plant located on 32nd Ave. We have brought a couple of cases before the Chancery Court, Metro Health Board and despite our hard work and loads of evidence, in the end the City of Nashville and it's Mayor Bill Purcell are simply unconcerned about the unhealthy levels of pollution and noise we are being forced to live with day in and day out. Our short term goal is to reduce the noise and truck traffic. Long term goal is to force the plant to relocate outside of our residential neighborhood. We need your help!Read more
The Metro Health web site now includes PM2.5 (Fine Particulate Matter, the type of air pollution emitted by the galvanizing plant) in its daily Air Quality Index, a change reflecting the growing awareness of PM2.5's health risks.
