In case you missed it, USA Today had a big cover story yesterday on the presence of toxic and sometimes cancer-causing chemicals outside the nation's public schools.
The story has a useful online component. You can search by state or city or school to see if your kids or the kids in your neighborhood are being exposed to toxins in their schoolyards.
Several schools in Sand Springs, Okla., were high on the list. If you click on a school name, the site shows you which companies most likely contribute to the pollution.
In the case of Central Elementary School in Sand Spring, they include:
- Sheffield Steel Corp Sand Springs, Oklahoma
- Sinclair Tulsa Refining Co Tulsa, Oklahoma
- Nalco Co Tulsa, Oklahoma
- Webco Industries Inc Southwest Tube Div Sand Springs, Oklahoma
- Yuba Heat Transfer Tulsa, Oklahoma
