Residents in #Louisiana’s #RiverParishes - colloquially known as #CancerAlley - are looking to the #EPA to enforce common sense regulations, such as fence line monitoring.

by #LyllaYounes in @grist:

"This week, the EPA abruptly terminated three of its highest-profile open civil rights complaints. The move deals a major blow not only to the majority-Black communities that filed them but also to the EPA’s own authority to enforce Title VI in places with some of the nation’s worst air quality. The cases originated in the region widely known as 'Cancer Alley,' an 85-mile industrial corridor in southeast Louisiana, and were voluntarily closed after the state’s Republican attorney general sued the federal government for alleged abuses of power during the complaint negotiations."

the EPA did an 'investigation' for abt a month and determined that there was no environmental racism involved in #CancerAlley Louisiana, its all just a coincidence...

"We analyzed billions of rows of EPA data to do something the agency had never done before: map the spread of cancer-causing industrial air emissions down to the neighborhood level."

Right now in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, a shelter in place is in effect due to a crude oil fire at Calcasieu Refining. Another day of life in a petrostate. #CancerAlley #ClimateCrisis #climate

ARD WELTSPIEGEL: Louisiana - Krebskrank am Öl-Delta https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/amerika/krebs-diskriminierung-usa-100.html
Je schwärzer die Bevölkerung in der Umgebung, desto mehr Raffinerien und Chemiefabriken, desto höhere Krebsrate. Obwohl sich alle „an die Gesetze halten“. #umweltrassismus #canceralley

The Louisiana Industry Defense Council has rebranded itself as the Louisiana Industry Sustainability Council, but don’t let that fool you, their message is the same: ignore locals’ desires for a clean, healthy #environment and promote #industry at all costs.

In an area known as #CancerAlley is it really unreasonable to be weary of new development?

#Louisiana #ChemicalIndustry

The #EPA announced it’s desire to require fence line monitoring for chemical plants near a facility in #StJohn. The idea would be to publish this data so that communities can know what is being put in their air by local petro-chemical companies. This would also allow the EPA and state-level agencies to enforce existing and future regulations on emissions and pollution.

Railroads lobbied to carry hazardous & flammable materials on trains with Civil War-era braking systems, while slashing their workforces by 30%, leaving employees exhausted & rails understaffed... Fast forward to 2023, East Palestine, Ohio 💥
#CapitalismIsKillingYOU #StrikeReady2024

BTW, the media isnt telling ppl that the result of burning vinyl chloride, which they did on purpose instead of clean it up, is hydrohcloric acid rain. we used to get that in #CancerAlley

"Louisiana communities containing industrial plants and high percentages of Black residents experienced seven to 21 times more toxic air emissions than similar locations with higher percentages of White residents, according to a new study by researchers with the Tulane Environmental Law Clinic."
