@pbsnews: Study links petrochemical plants in Louisiana to premature and low-weight births About a fifth of America’s petrochemical production is concentrated on a stretch of land along the Mississippi River in southeastern Louisiana. That production comes with serious risks. The area has been known as ‘Cancer Alley’ because of the high rates of cancer among people who live nearby. A new study now shows how those risks may fall on the next generation as well. William Brangham reports. #Louisiana #lowbirthweights #birtheffect #petrochemical #petrochemicalplants #canceralley #cancer #mississippiriver #Louisiananews #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #louisianacancerrates

I grew up in a chemical plant town, and I will never live within 100 miles or downriver of one. The amount of mystery juice they're allowed to put in the river and air is insane.
