United

Don't miss today's article in the FW Business Press about the levels of benzene in the air you breathe. Just another reason YOU should attend the meeting Tuesday!

Short-term exposure of benzene can cause nausea, dizziness, headache and drowsiness, whereas long-term exposure may affect bone marrow and blood, and may cause leukemia, Honeycutt said. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency lists benzene as one of 188 air pollutants that “may reasonably be anticipated to result in an increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible or incapacitating reversible illness,” according to the agency’s Web site.

State Representative Lon Burnam will be holding a meeting immediately following the community meeting tomorrow night. There is also a meeting on Wednesday. Busy week! Mark your calendars! Details on when and where below.
