Beyond Toxics Survery

Posted on February 18, 2020 by Gary Haliski

From Beyond Toxics:

For almost a year, Beyond Toxics  (https://www.beyondtoxics.org/) has been surveying households in West Eugene neighborhoods to learn about air quality and health conditions residents are facing.  Bethel neighborhood, the area where we have been canvassing, is where 99% of Eugene’s air toxic emissions are released from industry facilities.   We are now asking residents across the city to take our on-line survey, so that we can expand and also contextualize our knowledge. 

Please take our survey?
