Hey guys, have you been following the news about AVX corporation of Myrtle Beach in the Sun News? For decades AVX has emitted toxic fumes and discharged tainted water that seeps into the ocean and nearby wells, polluting them. Now, AVX has applied to DHEC for permission to emit even more toxic fumes into the air, specifically toluene vapors. The EPA has not yet determined what amount, if any, is safe for inhalation. It is known that toluene is harmful to the brain and central nervous system.
It's a matter of how well they score on the "3 C's" in chapter 1 - compliance, contribution, and consequences. Obviously, when rating AVX in relation to the community the score will be very low. While this may relate to a better looking bottom line, how is it ethical for our very own flaghip corporation to use and abuse our environment for the sake of only their desires?
