West Virginia towns push back against air permits for chemical firm

Kanawha County residents are pushing back against a West Virginia industrial chemical company seeking state regulators' approval for two air permit requests. Ryan Kirkpatrick, climate and utility organizer for the West Virginia Citizen Action Group, said the company is asking the state to modify its existing permits to loosen emissions regulations at its facility in Dunbar-Institute, outside of Charleston.

"They're saying, 'Hey, we're not producing as much as we possibly could, so I feel like you guys should be a little bit less stringent on the regulations, the monitoring,'" Kirkpatrick asserted.

"Every house has someone who's either passed away with breast or lung cancer or testicular cancer. Those are like really, really common," Kirkpatrick observed. An activist told West Virginia regulators at a public
