Leilani dude,it sounds like your assuming you know that the workers are employed there long term. Your assuming that their ailments would show up immediately upon exposure. Everyone has different tolerance levels. I think that the elderly and little children would not be able to handle long term exposure as well as a man during his prime years. I (gypsy's wife) grew up less than a mile from the geo in the eighties. I remember the school bus stopping directly across the street from this same geo plant everyday. This white steam would pour through the windows as we held our breath, because it was such a repulsive rotten egg smell. It made my eyes water and get sinus allergies. When the bus would go we would be so happy to take a deep breath. I suffered a great deal through high school with allergies and skin problems and still do to this day. I was an adult when I realized what had attributed to my health problems.
