Toxics Mossville Louisiana Tour
Louisiana is home to the largest number of vinyl production plants in the United States, releasing approximately 8 million pounds of pollution annually. The biggest concentration is located in predominantly African American communities like Mossville, where the average resident has three times more dioxin in his/her blood than the national average and is three times more likely to contract dioxin related cancer.
