>Lake County Air Pollution
Date Filed: March 25, 2009
Court: Lake County Superior Court
Location: Indiana
A group of parents today filed a class-action lawsuit against 11 of Lake County, Indiana's worst air-pollution emitters including United States Steel (NYSE:X) and ArcelorMittal USA Inc. (NYSE: MT) claiming the companies foul the region's air with toxic pollutants to such a degree that children in the area could face life-long development and health issues.
Parents filed the suit after a series of studies revealed children in Lake County, which includes the heavily industrialized cities of East Chicago and Gary, are exposed to higher levels of airborne toxins including cadmium, manganese and lead than elsewhere in the United States.
