Dr. Scott Simonton expresses with scientific certainty that the children of Marsh Fork Elementary are exposed to dangerous amounts of coal dust.

In short, dust has been and is generated at the Goals Coal facility as a result of material handling activities and this dust migrates to the school property and into the school, where it is respired. This dust has known health hazards, especially in the inhalation exposure route. I believe that the inhalation of this dust must be avoided and prevented. I believe that the occupants of Marsh Fork Elementary School are at risk from exposure to the dust emitted from the Goals Coal facility. – D. . Scott Simonton, PE, PhD
