Guess what they made, a health aide for your healthy cigarettes the filter material
At one time they also made a GREAT carpet fabric (Before NAFTA).
I blame Bush.

Fits should be defending the manufacturer. Since when does big government get to tell a poor manufacturer what type of pollutants it can pump into the atmosphere. If people don’t want to breathe polluted air, they won’t buy the product. Amirite?
Are you adumbazz!!!! (AMIRITHE)
Yeah!!! carpet is great!! How bout your back yard!! I lived there and my parents still do!! Everyone has cancer and if that is the price of great carpet…..I don’t need it.
……and the Informational Dominance on the pollution battlefield is what..??
We wonder if Wil Folks will take the time to do a little learning concerning the General Battery/ Exide Battery/ Homelite…….contaminant “field”. Talk about an ICEBERG…..
Republicans – listen up: “there *is* an environment” (Timmy on Christmas day)
Yeah, Max, it’s all the republicans fault. democrats can crap on us for decades and they’re exempt from blame. This is most likely not a political problem, just one of greed.

I hadn’t thought of that. And there’s one thing I know about Republicans – they don’t represent greed.
I can just hear the polluter’s defense: “DHEC didn’t care about it so we thought it was no big deal.”
I wonder if DHEC’s degree of culpability will be explored in the lawsuit?
Too heck with there produces! IF YOUR DEAD, HOW DO ENJOY THEM?
Money is the rute of all evle.
i want you people to know that i worked as a driver in this place for several years. i has changed names several time since it was hoechst celanese. personally, i did not witness any chemical spills anywhere on this plant. i am aware that in the past 30 or so years that there may have been some chemical spills that were covered up as there are some off limit areas in the property. i have a close friend whose mother recently passed away with cancer that live close to this place in cannons campground. im not saying that it was or was not the plants fault but when you start seeing the demographic area compared to cancer deaths in this region it makes you wonder what they actually did at this plant. remember, it was very expensive to dispose of daltherm and other chemicals in those days, so it was cheaper to bury the stuff and not say anything about it, maybe even pay off a few authorites to turn their heads.
Environmental justice is important for all people, and the
litigation over pollution at Cannons Campground is unfolding quickly, bringing
into the light of day facts that need to be told. Additional updates on
