ZACHARY;
A few years ago dump trucks were hauling asbestos containing material to the landfill. I do not remember the cause but the truck had tipped over and this caused the asbestos material to be released. Asbestos is a carcinogen and can be very hazardous to your health. There are two good things about this incident though. One, the response team handled the situation quickly and the weather was very cooperative that day. Asbestos is a fiber and can stay suspended in the air for 72 hours and sometimes longer. Luckily it was not windy that day. Clean up crews quickly were on the scene and cleaned up the mess. Personal air samples were taken on workers to ensure that they were not over exposed. The second good thing is that this incident was on a haul rode between the landfill and the site so the incident was not on public land, road, nor around any civillians.
