A new fracked-gas plant would: • Dramatically increase volatile organic compounds, greenhouse gases and particulate matter in the air • Harm public health: exacerbating asthma rates and other respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19 • Be an act of environmental racism against the environmental justice community of Newburgh, which already suffers from high asthma rates, PFOs water contamination, and air pollution • Fail to comply with New York’s nation-leading Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act***Your name and zip code will automatically be added into your email***
