After ten years of operation, the Sixth Naphtha Cracker has increased the cancer risk for residents in five nearby townships by up to 80%!

They may not understand complex research theories, but they know one thing—because of the Sixth Naphtha Cracker, the oysters and clams they once relied on for survival have all died. What they don’t know is that the Sixth Naphtha Cracker may also be threatening their lives, bringing them closer to death.
