The #EPA considers #chloroprene —which is used to make synthetic rubber—a likely #carcinogen, & the suit sought to compel the plant to curb these #emissions.
#Trump ofcls’ decision to abandon the case…has prompted alarm from #environmental & #PublicHealth advocates. They warn that the plant’s continued operations could harm the #health of thousands of residents, including hundreds of young #children who are especially vulnerable to carcinogens.
