Residents living near St Marys Cement’s Detroit plant have complained of releases of dust by the plant, according to reports in the local press.
News website Local 4 details the case of a family living opposite the plant whose car was coated in material that proved difficult to remove.
A statement released by the plant, which is owned by a subsidiary of Votorantim Cimentos, said that: “the timing did correspond with a period of time when dust was released during the course of performing a routine maintenance procedure.”
