Pennsylvania Frontline Communities Sound Alarm on Plastics Threat to Public health 

Pennsylvania State Senator Comitta, Moms Clean Air Force, Clean Air Action, and BCMAC, are calling on Pennsylvania leaders to safeguard communities from the impacts of a fossil fuel and plastic industry buildout. 

Communities across Pennsylvania are already facing dangerous air pollution from existing petrochemical facilities—pollution that harms public health and accelerates climate change. At the same time, the plastics supply chain is exposing families to toxic chemicals, including microplastics and PFAS, that are increasingly linked to serious health risks.

Advocates and experts warn that proposed expansions would lock Pennsylvania into decades of additional plastic production, more fracked fossil fuel infrastructure, and greater pollution burdens for frontline communities.

Speakers will highlight the health risks associated with plastics and petrochemicals and call on policymakers to prioritize the health and safety of Pennsylvania families.

Speakers include:

• Rachel Meyer, Pennsylvania Field Organizer, Moms Clean Air Force

• State Senator Carolyn Comitta, Pennsylvania State Senate, District 19

• Hilary O’Toole, Executive Director of BCMAC

• Emily Wildman, Legislative Advocate, Clean Air Action
