Con đường ung thư: Cuộc khủng hoảng ô nhiễm 85 dặm của Louisiana – 85 dặm ven sông Mississippi, nơi cư dân da màu chịu ô nhiễm và ung thư cao gấp 40 lần mức trung bình quốc gia. Cần hành động từ chính phủ và doanh nghiệp. #CancerAlley #MôiTrường #PhânBiệtChủngTộc #Louisiana https://ift.tt/SZ21aFG

See also: #Superfund"Perhaps the best-known sacrifice zone in the United States is '#CancerAlley' in #Louisiana, an 85-mile stretch of land along the #MississippiRiver containing over 200 #petrochemical plants. Serious air and water quality violations have been documented since the 1970s, and elevated #cancer risk has been found. The region's population is disproportionately #Black and #LowIncome.
"Commentators including Chris Hedges, Joe Sacco, Robert Bullard and Stephen Lerner have argued that #corporate business practices contribute to producing #SacrificeZones and that these zones most commonly exist in low-income and minority, usually #AfricanAmerican communities. Sacrifice zones are a central topic for the graphic novel #DaysOfDestructionDaysOfRevolt, written by Hedges and illustrated by Sacco.
"In 2012, Hedges stated that examples of sacrifice zones included #PineRidge, South Dakota and #CamdenNJ. In 2017 a #WestCalumet public housing project in East Chicago, Indiana built at the former site of a lead smelter needed to be demolished and soil replaced to bring the area up to residential standards, displacing 1000 residents. In 2014, Naomi Klein wrote that 'running an economy on energy sources that release poisons as an unavoidable part of their extraction and refining has always required sacrifice zones."

Divider AOC: “I’ve never seen anything like that!” “And frankly men who treat women like that in public, I fear how they treat them in private. WE CAN BE BETTER THAN THIS!” I fear more GOP attacks like #CancerAlley Rep. Higgins on @climateauntie.bsky.social. #BlueEarth #ResistanceEarth #DemVoice1

Fascinating how the #ACC (American Chemical Council) and the #PlasticPolluters continue their disingenuous messaging, carefully selecting the data they present.
If you think "advanced recycling" is not polluting, ask yourself why most other petrochemical plants regularly violate emissions standards, why we have the #CancerAlley problem in LA. IN the SF Bay area, think about the fires and chemical releases and violation of emissions standards in the Richmond/Martinez refineries.
(And the report itself, as well as other info, is at https://climateintegrity.org/projects/plastics-fraud)

#CancerAlley, a nickname dating to the 1980s, is an 85-mile stretch from New Orleans to Baton Rouge that is home to some 150 #ChemicalPlants & #oil refineries.
Multiple studies over years point to elevated #health risks, including one in 2022 that found nearly EVERY census tract in the area ranks in the top 5% nationally for #cancer risk.
In 2023, the #Biden admin sued Denka, demanding it eliminate the dangers posed by #chloroprene #emissions.
