STOP THAT SMELL

Stop the Plastic Fumes

About

Are you smelling plastic fumes? Is it keeping you from going for walks, enjoying your yard, or opening the windows?

X-L Plastics, a polyethylene manufacturer, is believed to be the ones releasing these fumes into the air (see past violations) and YOUR HEALTH MAY BE AT RISK!

Polyethylene fumes increase the risk of heart disease, aggravates respiratory ailments such as asthma and emphysema and cause rashes, nausea or headaches, and damages the nervous system.

Many of us have been reporting this individually throughout the years. Now let's try again doing it together, we're louder in numbers!
