Abstract
Communities living near chemical plants—on the “fenceline” in policy parlance—cannot continue to be exposed to cancer causing toxic emissions. The Biden Administration has made this clear through its recent actions for environmental justice and public safety, but specifically through a recent rule that targets roughly 200 chemical plants that emit exposure to chemicals that can increase the risk of certain types of cancer, including lymphoma, leukemia, breast, and liver cancers.
