is my home safe?

Question

I live near the curtis stanton coal plant in Orlando Fl...I love my house..my neighborhood..the school district..everything about the area...except that I am less then 2 miles from this ugly coal plant and i can see the smoke stacks and the constant white clouds of whatever it is pouring out..I really don't want to move but I am worried that staying could effect my family's health one day. I need some real educated answers about living so close to smoke stacks. I don't even know how far is far enough if we do move..help please I am desperate because my husband wants to sell asap if we are in any real danger

Update:

also how far would be far enough because i love this area

Best I can do, you might want to check your state's environmental department for additional information.
Best of luck

Yes, you  breathe  that in every day.  Two miles is a very short distance.  I am surprised that the state of Florida allows residential neighborhoods so close to a coal plant, of all things. While it may not kill you, it certainly could cause very serious respiratory illnesses somewhere down the line.
