Bruh, the US Thompson Steel plant is the 9th worse polluter in the area. Clairton coke works isn’t even in the top 10.
There are about 3 dozen mills and factories in the area whose pollution outputs are far worse— 100s of tons of lead, cadmium, nickel, chromium, cobalt, benzene and xylene dumped into the environment annually.
The top 10 polluters in the area produce 70% of all air pollution and released over 1,000,000 pounds of toxic waste into the air in 2019.
