Learn about the risks of coal ash contamination, particularly in communities like Ottumwa that are located near disposal sites. Coal ash, a toxic byproduct of burning coal, has numerous health and environmental consequences. Iowans who live near coal-burning plants deserve to understand the risks, have access to air and water testing, and learn how to advocate for stronger protections.
Join us October 30 from 12:00-1:00 p.m. at the Temple of Creative Arts in Ottumwa to learn about coal ash, ask questions, and talk with neighbors.
Attendance is free and open to the public, but registration is appreciated.
In 2025, IEC released a new report highlighting the dangers of coal ash in Iowa. Check out these resources:
