Dundee residents have a right to consider a lawsuit if pollution from Holcim cement has affected their quality of life.

The legacy of environmental pollution emanating from cement plants such as Holcim in Dundee is long and troubling. For this reason, communities across the country have sought our assistance in environmental lawsuits.

For more than a decade after Congress told it to curb dangerous mercury pollution from cement kilns across the nation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) refused to take action, according to a study from Earthjustice and the Environmental Integrity Project (EIP).

Those organizations found that cement kilns emit mercury pollution -- a threat to the health of pregnant women and children -- at more than twice the level estimated as recently as 2006 by the EPA, which only started to collect data on the problem in 2007.

The National Academy of Sciences' National Research Council estimated in a 2000 report that approximately 60,000 children per year may be born in the US with neurological problems due to in utero exposure to methylmercury.
