August 24, 2011 – Washington DC – A Greenpeace report released today exposes Koch Industries’ major role in blocking legislation that would protect communities from the risk of a poison gas disaster at the nation’s dangerous chemical plants. The report Toxic Koch: Keeping Americans at Risk of a Poison Gas Disaster analyzes lobbyist disclosure records, KochPAC campaign contributions to key lawmakers, and EPA records showing that Koch chemical facilities put more than 4 million Americans at risk. A separate investigation by the Center for Public Integrity, also released today, provides further details about Koch Industries’ dangerous chemical facilities.
