While several Northeast Ohio locations are at risk from toxic chemicals emitted by nearby manufacturers, Elyria tops the region’s list for the number of its schools where students face the most potential harm from air pollution, according to researchers.
Among the 100 most at-risk schools in Ohio, Elyria has nine, the highest number in the eight-county Greater Cleveland region. Elyria is tied with Sandusky for third-highest in Ohio, behind Columbus, with 28 such schools, and Lima, with 23.
