Cases - Lake County Air Pollution
Residents of Lake County, Indiana have filed a class action law suit against 11 of the area’s worst air-pollution emitters including United States Steel (NYSE:X) and ArcelorMittal USA Inc. (NYSE: MT). These residents claimed the companies contaminate the region's air with toxic pollutants to such a degree that children in the area could face life-long development and health issues.
Parents filed the suit after a series of studies revealed children in Lake County, which includes the heavily industrialized cities of East Chicago and Gary, are exposed to higher levels of airborne toxins including cadmium, manganese and lead than elsewhere in the United States.
Date Filed: March 25, 2009
