A new investigation from iWatch News has found that Koch Industries, a leader of industry resistance to proposed anti-terrorism safeguards at chemical plants, owns 56 facilities using hazardous chemicals that put 4.8 million Americans who live nearby at risk.
Our survey of the government's "worst-case screnario" reports for each facility shows how the millions of people working or living near the plants could be threatened by explosions, chemical spills or clouds of deadly gas. Among the hazardous chemicals stored and used at Koch sites are formaldehyde, chlorine, anhydrous ammonia and hydrogen fluoride.
