An EPA document shows that a new Chevron fuel ingredient has a lifetime cancer risk more than 1 million times higher than what the agency usually finds acceptable — even greater than another Chevron fuel’s sky-high risk disclosed earlier this year.

The EPA decided its scientists were overstating the risks and gave Chevron the go-ahead to make the new boat fuel ingredient at its refinery in Pascagoula, Mississippi.

Poor Mississippi.

    Nothing new, sadly.

    The same crap with Volkswagen, who put the health of all humanity at risk for even more money (Diesel scandal).

    As long as people still buy their stuff nothing will change.
