What ties them all together

Different #places
Different #pollutants
Same #structure.

They all share:

1. #Proximity
Harm placed near communities with limited power.

2. #Latency

#Illness appears #years or #decades later.

3. #Denial

Early #warnings #dismissed as anecdotal or unproven.

4. #Delay

#Regulation and #cleanup #lag far behind #exposure

5. #Diffusion

#Responsibility spread so thin no one is fully #accountable

6. #After-the-fact #response

#Cleanup or #settlements #arrive only #after #damage is #permanent
