Aamjiwnaang First Nation declares state of emergency over benzene levels
Description
April 26, 2024
Anxiety and anger have once again gripped the Ontario First Nation of Aamjiwnaang, after a state of emergency was declared late Thursday due to high levels of benzene — a cancer-causing chemical — in the air. Aamjiwnaang is surrounded by industrial plants and has been exposed to high levels of benzene for weeks, which they say, has been making people sick. The plant accused of being the cause of emissions, is in the process of temporarily shutting down. As Carolyn Jarvis reports, some residents have decided that leaving is the only option left.
