Intro and Outro
INTRO:All week, we've brought you stories about coal ash and its effects on the health of several residents of southwest Louisville. They live near Louisville Gas and Electric's Cane Run Power Station. But while the residents and a number of scientists insist coal ash is toxic, it's still not regulated by the federal government.
In the final piece of a three-part series, WFPL’s Erica Peterson looks at the scant regulations that are governing coal ash, and whether they’re adequate.
