Description
A Seattle-based law firm representing residents living near the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport filed suit Wednesday, alleging that toxic pollution is impacting people's property and their health.
The suit said pollution is "particularly acute" within five miles of the airport, potentially impacting people living in Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park, Renton, SeaTac and Tukwila.
"The two major issues are, contaminants are getting inside the homes, so you're breathing toxic substances, and then they're on your property," Attorney Steve Berman said. "So you want that removed, and we want to monitor health going forward of these people because we know they're at risk for certain signature diseases at a much higher level than you or I would be."
