There are over 5,800 "high risk" chemical plants in the United States according to the Department of Homeland Security. An accident or attack at just 300 of them would put the health of 110 million Americans at risk. These plants use and store chemicals such as chlorine gas, hydrofluoric acid, and anhydrous sulfur dioxide – chemicals that are acutely toxic.
There are safer alternatives, but stronger legislation is needed to get plants to adopt safer chemical technologies. Congress has the opportunity to change this, but chemical industry lobbyists are working hard to put profits above our safety and security.
Last November, the House of Representatives passed comprehensive chemical security legislation. Now, it's the Senate's turn.
