An estimated 460,000 people died of causes attributed to fine particulates from coal power generating stations nationwide, according to a new study, which examined so-called “excess deaths” between 1999 and 2020.
Three of the plants in the study operated in northern Arizona or in New Mexico along the edges of the Navajo Nation.
