Clark Pacific States they are going to use "Fly Ash" this contains mercury and is a potential
huge health risk, as reported from teh building industry.
Currently, the fly ash is released into the air, buried in a landfill or illegally dumped into our
oceans. fly ash contains approximately 1 part per million of mercury (NOTE: The maximum
level of mercury in drinking water permitted by the EPA is 2 parts per billion.) The mercury
seeps into our groundwater and contaminates our fish. Humans eat the fish, and the
mercury accumulates in our bodies.
Mercury has been linked to numerous health problems, including autism in newborns,
endocrine disruption and cardiovascular disease. Since 1990, there has been a 10-fold
increase in the incidence of autism. One can quickly see a need for an alternate use of this
fly ash.
(NOTE: It only takes 1/70th of a teaspoon of mercury to contaminate a 20 acre body of water
and make all fish within it toxic to humans. This is about the amount of mercury in a typical
medical thermometer.)

Environmental effects
Portland cement manufacture can cause environmental impacts at all stages of the
process. These include emissions of airborne pollution in the form of dust, gases, noise
and vibration when operating machinery and during blasting in quarries, consumption of
large quantities of fuel during manufacture, release of CO2 from the raw materials during
manufacture, and damage to countryside from quarrying. Equipment

Fly Ash Environmental problems
Fly ash, like soil, contains trace concentrations of many heavy metals that are known to
be detrimental to health in sufficient quantities. These include nickel, vanadium, arsenic,
beryllium, cadmium, barium, chromium, copper, molybdenum, zinc, lead, selenium,
uranium, thorium, and radium. Though these elements are found in extremely low
concentrations in fly ash, their mere presence has prompted some to sound alarm
