I appreciate that there is an environmental risk here but no one is "hiding the fact" and this kind of sensationalist journalism is a problem even when it's about topics that we care about. Should there be laws and regulations in place to require more direct reporting? Probably. But I also think we should have emissions tests for vehicles in Indiana.

Here's my read on things as laid out in the article: A few years ago, the EPA recognized that the only chemical approved for sterilizing medical equipment is carcinogenic. Since then, Cook has installed equipment to try to reduce the amount of this chemical released into the air. They've also been working to correctly identify how much of this chemical has historically been put into the air and have corrected their emissions numbers with the EPA a few times based on new information. Also, this information is publicly available and even shown on an interactive map here https://gispub.epa.gov/NATA/ but some people don't bother to look at that stuff.

Again, I'm not trying to say "there's nothing to see here" I'm just saying this particular article, and OP may need to take a W131 class that discusses "framing".
