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
