DO YOU LIVE IN THE CPV TOWANTIC GAS/OIL PLANT TOXIC ZONE? Oxford - Naugatuck - Beacon Falls - Middlebury - Woodbury - Southbury THE EJECTED MATERIALS ARE TOXIC. The plant elevation will be 834 feet with 150 foot stacks ejecting plumes up to 500 feet. At 1484 feet the wind will disburse the toxics. Per the CPV Tetra Tech Environmental Report the plant will eject the following toxics: nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, sulfuric acid and volatile organic compounds. These toxics will be in the air you breathe. Some of these toxics combine to form ground level ozone. New studies by the Environmental Protection Agency indicate ground level ozone can pose serious threats to public health, harm the respiratory system, cause or aggravate asthma and other lung diseases, and is linked to premature death from respiratory and cardiovascular causes. People most at risk from breathing air containing ozone include people with asthma, children, older adults, and those who are active or work outside.
