Do we know enough about the health risks of new semiconductor factories?
Briefly

"We aren't objecting to the existence of these plants. We know that they're going to have to use hazardous substances. Obviously, we're pushing for substitutes when they can, but one of our biggest problems is the lack of transparency." - Lenny Siegel, CPEO
"The assessments fall short. The coalition's comments flag lists of potential issues at several projects in Arizona and Idaho, including how opaque the safety measures that manufacturers will take to protect both workers and nearby residents are."
"That's why they say it's crucial to assess the environmental risks now and give communities a chance to weigh in on new fabs springing up across the nation."
"America's first generation of semiconductor factories, or fabs, left Silicon Valley pockmarked with toxic Superfund sites that are still being cleaned up decades later."
