In Greenville, South Carolina, people are concerned about asbestos being released into the community, and state inspectors are being asked to investigate. A recent fire at a former Head Start center covered the community in smoke. And because asbestos had not been removed from the building, it is feared that the smoke spread asbestos fibers and could have exposed community members to high levels of asbestos and caused a public health hazard. The scheduled demolition of the Jesse Jackson Townhomes in the same area have prompted additional concerns about the possibility of a future asbestos release. The issue will be discussed at a community meeting on Sept. 27.
