 Residents in Lowell Vermont are afraid property values will drop with developing reports of negative health effects associated with the remains of the Lowell Asbestos Mine. Many of the town's roads were built with materials containing asbestos. The residents have even used asbestos dust instead of winter sand to melt road ice and to backfill springs. Unfortunately, the EPA and the State of Vermont are just now researching the dangers of living within close proximity of the mine. Officials have found hand fulls of cancer cases that could possibly be related to asbestos exposure. Although their situation seems like an obvious consequence of stupidity, either we can help these individuals find a solution or allow them to continue wallowing in asbestos poison.
