A group of mines in the southwest produce 11% of the mercury emissions in the US -- and clouds of the toxic metal currently threaten Utah.
Congress ordered the EPA to make rules that cut down the amount of mercury in our air. But the rules don't apply to the Elko, Nevada area mines.
Those gold mines pour clouds of mercury into the air. Mercury has been linked to autism, neurological disease, and death. Prevailing winds are carrying the clouds of mercury to the Great Salt Lake region. (WashPost)

The Metropolitan Airport Workers Association (MAWA) has been created for any-and-all airport and Headquarters personnel, without prejudice to federal or commercial employment affiliation, to aid in maintaining an amicable, safe and professional working environment. A member’s sustained benefits shall include, but are not limited to, a network support system, local meetings, educational seminars, social community events and fundamental materials which are essential for keeping members informed about their vocational responsibilities and rights.
MAWA will be actively involved with perfecting its members’ co-worker and management relationships, providing them with the skills and tools necessary to accomplish this. With establishing an upright working relationship, opportunities of benevolent service, safety and security will be able to further themselves into the member’s community. These benefits have been established from MAWA’s desire to continually expose members to contemporary fields, which they might not otherwise be familiar with, and to facilitate, first and foremost, the protection and preservation of its members’ rights.
MAWA is recognized as an organization, that above all else, strives to uphold a safe and professional environment through providing education and guidance for all of its members and staff. Remember, MAWA is not an us-against-them or them-against-us adversarial association. It is an all-of-us, working together organization, and we are committed to working together to reach solutions that benefit the entire organization and department.
