More than 200 chemical plants nationwide will be required to reduce toxic emissions linked to cancer under a rule issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday .
The new rule primarily targets industry plants that emit ethylene oxide and chloroprene.
The two chemicals are mostly produced by facilities in Texas and Louisiana , where minority communities have elevated rates of cancer and other critical health issues.
The rule also requires fence-line monitoring for covered processes and equipment that make, use, store or emit pollutants.
