The events of September 11th have triggered a national reexamination of the security of airlines, drinking water supplies, nuclear plants, and other areas. Policymakers to date have inadequately addressed the public health threat posed by the use and storage of highly hazardous chemicals in our communities. Across America, thousands of industrial facilities use and store hazardous chemicals in quantities that put large numbers of Americans at risk of serious injury or death in the event of a chemical release, explosion, or fire. This article focuses on community health risks associated with the use, transport, and storage of hazardous chemicals in communities across America. The aim is to draw attention to the inadequacies of national policies regarding access to information about potentially hazardous chemicals in our neighborhoods.
