A STAUNCH anti-dump campaigner says alarming statistics related to the life expectancy and the rates of lung cancer for residents in Ipswich suburbs near waste facilities should be a huge red flag for the state government and needs to be investigated further.
Ipswich Residents Against Toxic Environments secretary Geoff Yarham said the waste industry has already had a “significant effect on people’s amenity and health”.
