A state-backed report found coal dust across Curtis Bay. CSX isn’t convinced.
CSX argues that many of the methods deployed by the community’s researchers, including low-cost air quality monitors, tape strips and statistical models, were flawed.

"absolutely, coal dust" @govwesmoore.bsky.social, the 'rebuttal' is spin and deflection, they 'rebut' imaginary conclusions, reach imaginary 'conclusions' NOT based on science
