This is unacceptable. The Trump Administration is allowing a factory to continue spewing the carcinogenic chemical 'Chloroprene' on downstream communities."The Donald Trump administration has formally agreed to drop a landmark environmental justice case in Louisiana’s “Cancer Alley” region, marking a blow to clean air advocates in the region and a win for the Japanese petrochemical giant at the centre of the litigation."Legal filings made public on Friday morning reveal that Trump’s Department of Justice agreed to dismiss a long-running lawsuit against the operators of a synthetic rubber plant in Reserve, Louisiana, which is allegedly largely responsible for some of the highest cancer risk rates in the US for the surrounding majority-Black neighborhoods."www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/07/trump-cancer-alley-plant-biden-lawsuit#Chloroprene #Environment #CancerAlley #Lousiana ...
