If the "environmentalists" can demonstrate that the region is "polluted" you know how much of a slam dunk case this is? It's Shaq level slam dunk.

Show the constituent concentrations and compare them to EPA regulated thresholds.

Two things can be true:

1) Sometimes the plants put some nasty stuff in the air

2) It's not enough to violate the law

The reality is, people who live near plants tend to be very poor, because the only people who live there are those who cannot afford to live anywhere else. Land and housing is cheap there.

Poor people tend to have many health problems due to a lack of using health care, because again, poor. Even if you are on medicaid, you still actually have to go to the doctor to get care and you still actually have to take care of yourself.
