EVANS Herald Staff Writer Although other factors contribute to air quality problems in the valley, many in attendance at a town meeting Wednesday night pointed an accusing finger at Geneva Steel for Utah County's air pollution problems. Close to 200 concerned citizens packed the room at the Orem City Building several emotionally stating that since Geneva reopened, they and their children have been ill and the steel mill is to blame. One woman said her bronhitis condition has been aggravated since the plant reopened. "I would like Geneva to pay all my medical and doctor bills," she said. Another woman stated that when she leaves the valley and then returns, she becomes ill because of the air. "How can you tell us we have pollution control? I'd like to know what I'm being exposed to." Refuting the allegations, officials from Geneva said the plant is not exceeding the air pollution limits.

Some residents defended Geneva, saying people need to look at all factors involved in air pollution, not just the industrial causes. "Maybe we're scapegoating Geneva," one woman said. "What we need to do is come together and decide on solutions." A man in the audience agreed. "I have a feeling from the crowd here that this is a meeting to attack the steel plant. We've been told of other major causes of air pollution, including the way we heat our homes and drive our cars. We need to look at ourselves and not just dump it on a big corporation with big bucks." Calvin Bartholomew, a professor at Brigham Young University stated the three major causes of pollution in the valley are industry, automobile emissions and wood burning stoves. He said one of the main things people can do to help solve the air quality problem is to put pressure on the state legislature to increase funding for the Utah Bureau of Air Quality.
