Report from Intel Neighbors

Following is an email sent to Intel's new point man on neighborly relations (sender name has been removed to protect privacy)

Thom,

I know you're new here...You probably haven't had time to review years of history from 1989 until now.
We are serious about what's happening to us.
Get ready for what's going to happen in this community in the future because there are people too sick to send in reports. We, and others are livid that rather than improving the situation, things have become worse with this new technology.There is continued damage to the health of residents on an almost "daily/nightly" basis plus damage already done to our health in the past.

Since I last reported, the skin on my eyelids is peeling. All around the eyes it is inflamed aburning since
the last exposure Neighbors are coughing, skin on hands burning and itching, heaviness of breathing noticed also sinuse and nausea problems and it's not the swine flu. At 8:52 p.m.today I stepped outside to turn off the water and started coughing until I got back into the house. This is in no way tolerable for us and it wouldn't be for you or anyone in your company.
Please understand that the new chemicals that are being used up there are causing illnesses as serious as we had in the 1990s. Vison is blurred, eyes are burning and skin is peeling off the eylids. One breath of the toxic air causes choking, coughing and in Patricia's case gasping for air. The toxins collect in her west side patio and in her house. With me it settles all around my property and comes in the house. This morning my eyes were swollen shut and inflamed I could hardly see. Each day my vision seems to be getting worse. Bunny lives at the top of Pueblo Los Cerros and gets blasted there (read the attached report).

The processes and chemicals your company is now using are drasticallly deteriorating air quality
downwind and downhill from your facility. There was was a period of time when we were happy not
to have had to report, so you can see the dramatic change that has occurred in this air shed in the last
several weeks.

We need help and we need it now. Who's going to be effective in bringing this about?
Although serious damage has already been done, we have a right to live here and not be more
injured. This level of toxicity in intolerable, action needs to be taken now and we will continue to
report to Intel and NMED until something is done.

Please call us with your solutions,
J.
