First modification:
Louisiana, which contains 25% of the US petrochemical industry and is the country's fourth largest producer of crude oil, is one of the states with the highest industrial pollution. This has caused serious health problems for the inhabitants. In St. James County, part of an area called “cancer alley,” the cancer rate is 50 times the national average. Without a buffer zone between factories and homes, residents feel unprotected by authorities.
