Elmira Heights residents: Has your quality of life been affected by pollution? An environmental lawyer can help.

Federal authorities want to find out whether a former local industrial cleanup site in Elmira Heights, New York is affecting the quality of the air in nearby homes, reported the Elmira Star-Gazette.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has sent letters to residents in the Elmira Heights area, asking for permission to test the air in their homes for traces of trichloroethylene, or TCE, a common industrial solvent.

The EPA is conducting the tests because of the proximity of the former Facet Enterprises Superfund cleanup site.

This concern has prompted discussion of a potential environmental lawsuit. Our attorneys are currently investigating the health concerns of Elmira Heights residents. We invite you to discuss your story with us.
