Letter: Opponents of asphalt plants relying on misinformation

Asphalt does not cause cancer. Just ask the Environmental Protection Agency.

Asphalt does not kill babies. Just ask the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

Asphalt does not contaminate water supplies. Just ask the fish hatcheries that line their beds with it.

Asphalt is not smelled outside of plant property lines. Just ask neighbors of operating plants.

Asphalt is not a hazard to the people who work with it daily. Just ask the N.C. Department of Transportation.
