Living in close proximity to a huge pile of old railroad ties(more)?!
Question: I moved in this home 3 years ago.My property borders a railroad.Shortly after I moved in,the RR replaced all the ties,and left several piles(100's,maybe 1000's)within 75 yards of my home.We soon were inundated with a black,lint-like dust all through the house.We are very clean people,Ceilings,ceiling fans,walls,curtains.We quit using the central A/C,thinking it was in the ductwork.It is still everywhere.Wipe everything down,a week later,this black stuff,everywhere.
Also,I fell sick and was diagnosed with cirhossis(never drank at all,no hepatitis,the 2 main causes besides chemical exposure)polycythemia,and leukocytosis.Is it possible the illness and the huge pile of RR ties are related?If this isn't the right category,can someone tell me the proper category?Thank you
