The EPA gave a Chevron refinery the green light to make the chemicals in 2022 under a “climate-friendly” initiative.
An investigation by ProPublica and The Guardian revealed that the EPA had calculated that one of the chemicals was expected to cause cancer in 1 in 4 people exposed over their lifetime.
The risk from another of the plastic-based chemicals, an additive to marine fuel, was more than 1 million times higher than the agency considers acceptable.
