A December 2008 USA TODAY Special Report titled "The Smokestack Effect: Toxic Air and America's Schools" determined that Chapman Elementary School ranked in the top 2% of the nation for schools with the worst air.

This same study named ESCO Corp as the chief contributor of toxic emissions around this school. ESCO is currently under application with the DEQ for renewal of their Title V permit: a five yr permit issued to Major (+100 tons) sources of HAP and Criteria pollutants .

Please join your neighbors and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality in a discussion about industrial emissions and air quality around Northwest Neighborhood schools.
