A viewing platform will be available in front of the Riverfront Residence Conference Center but the Genesee County Health Department is encouraging people to watch the event from home because the implosion of Genesee Towers will contain a high concentration of dust particles, fungal spores and silica. All of those are health risks for persons suffering from asthma, heart disease, lung disease or a weakened immune system.
