Environment America have revealed who the largest polluters
of American waterways are. Environment America's recent analysis specifically
addresses releases into waterways, and excludes air pollution and landfill
sources.
AK Steel Holding Corp took first place.
Tyson Foods came a very close second.
The Department of Defense (DOD), is the third largest water
polluter in America, having dumped some 63,335,653 pounds of poison into
waterways from 2010-2014. Amongst the many potentially deadly substances
released by DOD are chemicals, rocket fuel and toxic sewage - but it's the
carcinogenic and mutagenic radioactive isotopes let loose by its nuclear
munition plants that make DOD's emissions exceptionally dangerous. The
Department's myriad facilities, dedicated steadfastly to perpetuating ongoing
participation in the nuclear bomb game, have been leaking and leeching lethal
radiation from the dawn of the nuclear age, to the present day.
