To the Editor: Last week, I submitted testimony for the CT Legislative Environment Committee that held a public hearing. There are two bills, SB 1145 and SB 1147, that would update the environmental justice (EJ) laws to give CT DEEP further consideration of community input in permitting procedures for facilities. Today, I am looking for support from our federal delegation for local air quality monitoring. We need to establish that equipment be placed in our neighborhoods since East Haven residents do get the brunt of cumulative air pollution from Tweed New Haven Airport, Port Authority, industry and crosswinds leading to the highest incidence of asthma hospitalizations in the entire state of Connecticut, and recognized cumulative pollution impacts.
