"Defend Our Health links plastic production to serious health concerns, including cancer, and identifies it as a driver of environmental racism. Most of the PET plants in the United States are located in low-income communities with high proportions of residents of color, who face considerable risks from toxic emissions that include carcinogens like 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide."
