Every day, millions of people live, work, and attend school in the shadow of high-risk industrial and commercial facilities that store and use highly hazardous chemicals. Dangerous chemical incidents, including fires, explosions and toxic releases, are extremely common in the U.S., occurring every other day on average.
177 chemical incidents occurred in 2021. 186 occurred in 2022.
Our coalition is calling on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to implement stronger regulations to prevent chemical disasters.
