[ Scientists find DNA proof of swine feces in North Carolina homes ]
Residents and researchers teamed up to show the airborne spread of pig poop from nearby factory farms in Duplin County.
It wasn’t always this way, says Devon Hall, who grew up in Duplin County. Over the past few decades, Hall tells Sentient that he has witnessed the rapid expansion of swine factory farms in the region. Now, hogs generate 10 billion gallons of waste across the state annually, so much so that their pollution can be seen from space. Neighbors not only deal with the pungent smell that emanates from these farms, but are also more at risk of adverse health effects from pollution. Constant exposure to pig waste can lead to lung problems, brain damage and an increased risk of bacterial infections.
