SCHOOLED IN POLLUTION

摘要

Cesar Chavez High School in Manchester is surrounded by some of the dirtiest petrochemical facilities in the country. If a facility had an accident, it could affect at least a million people.rnManchester is Juan Parras's battlefield. "Thousands of children here are going to schools located less than two miles from a chemical plant," says Parras, founder of Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services.
