Perry residents seek dust relief avoid calcium chloride
Perry County residents along Shamrock Road west of Tamaroa pressed the county board to curb road dust without using calcium chloride. They fear corrosion and health harms, while official studies cite no hazards if used properly. The board had earlier prioritized the road for 1979 repairs, but funding limited progress and only part of the route was blacktopped.
