AT A GLANCE
Air polluters try to ensure toxic emissions happen far from monitors – but the people who live nearby still feel it Kimbrelle Kyereh lives just a few hundred feet from the massive chemical storage tanks in St Rose, in… Oily fumes sometimes drift into her home, bringing headaches, nausea and insomnia.
On one such night, she grabbed her son at 3am and fled to an all-night Ihop. In 2023, after years of coping with the noxious odors, Kyereh began collecting air samples in her yard for a local environmental justice group. But soon after, Louisiana passed an industry-backed law that sharply restricted how that kind of data could be used.
