“Previous research about the presence of swine CAFOs shows a disproportionately high concentration of the industry in communities of color despite the declining number of black farmers in the southeastern United States.”

“… swine CAFO emissions and any inhalable exposures, including odorant and nonodorant chemicals and respirable organic dusts, that correlate with odor disproportionately affect a population of children and adults who, regardless of their livestock-related exposures, may be predisposed to asthma-related health outcomes and other illnesses for reasons largely attributable to their economic disadvantage.”

    I had the misfortune of driving through a CAFO once on a road trip through Northern Texas and you could smell it from miles away and it was clearly bad for you I can’t imagine having to live nearby.
