Do you or a loved one live near the Dow plant in Iberville Parish #Louisiana? If so, you may want to consider leaving. The plant had a series of explosions on July 14, and as of a July 31 report, releases of ethylene oxide from a glycol unit are ONGOING.
There is NO safe level of exposure to ethylene oxide and yet residents have been exposed for at least 2 WEEKS!
Ethylene oxide can cause all kinds of cancers, neurological symptoms, miscarriages, and death in adults and children. There is a substantial risk to people who are in the area, especially anyone with a history of breast cancer in their family, planning a pregnancy, or currently pregnant.
Please spread the word! Help keep our communities safe! Knowledge is power!
