“The language of environmental regulation is to set standards that reduce as much pollution as possible for the most people possible — it doesn’t really care, if pollution is reduced overall, that a small percentage of people will bear the brunt of that.” […]

Residents are left to weigh the pros and cons of economic development in the area. Generally, that choice, between jobs and the negative health impacts of pollution, are what some environmental justice scholars refer to as “environmental blackmail.”
