Oil refinery, owned by Exxon Mobil, is the second largest in the country  on 28th February 2020 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States. Tens of thousands of people live within 2 miles of the complex, which produces gasoline for much of the East Coast. The petrochemical plants inside the complex make materials used in products such as diapers, chewing gum, tires and makeup. The state government gives Exxon permission to pump out millions of pounds of air pollution each year from its Baton Rouge complex. But because of accidents and leaks, from 2008 to 2011 the Exxon Mobil Baton Rouge complex put out nearly 4 million pounds of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, without the government's approval.

COLOMBO, SRI LANKA - MAY 28 : Sri Lanka Navy personnel in protective clothing packing the debris and chemical granules used to manufacture plastic, washed ashore from the burning cargo vessel MV X-Press Pearl and heaped together by bulldozers on the beaches of Wattala to Negombo in the suburbs of Colombo, Sri Lanka 28 May 2021. A fire broke out in Singapore-flagged container vessel MV X-Press Pearl anchored about 9.5 nautical miles (18km) northwest of Colombo awaiting entry into the port on 20 May. The ship reportedly carried 25 tonnes of nitric acid and other chemicals, cosmetics etc. loaded at the port of Hazira in India on May 15. The 25-member crew of Russian, Chinese, Philippine and Indian nationals were rescued by the Sri Lanka Navy on 25 May. Two of the crew members were injured and hospitalized where one was later tested positive for Covid-19. While Indian and Sri Lankan Navy and Coast Guard vessels attempted to douse the fire, several containers toppled into the sea and debris, various goods, chemical granules etc. were washed ashore along the main tourist spot beaches near Negombo. While warnings from the island nationâs Maritime Environmental Protection Authority (MEPA) went unheeded, residents along the beach defied the ongoing Covid-19 travel restrictions and salvaged items from the shore. Police arrested several such persons and warned that the materials thus collected may be toxic and harmful to humans. (Photo by Pushpa Kumara/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)

ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND - SEPTEMBER 07:  A general view of The European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre located in Aberdeen Bay on September 7, 2018 in Aberdeen, Scotland. The European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC) is Scotland's largest offshore wind test and demonstration facility and represents an investment of more than £300 million. Developed by Vattenfall owned Aberdeen Offshore Wind Farm Limited along with supportive partner, Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group. The innovative 93.2MW, 11-turbine offshore wind scheme will trial next generation technology and is exporting the equivalent of 70% of Aberdeen's domestic electricity demand and 23% of Aberdeen's total demand to the National Grid.  In February 2019, a Scottish court ruled that Trump International Golf Club Scotland Ltd should pay legal costs incurred by the Scottish government during a years-long legal battle with the Trump club, which unsuccessfully sued to halt the wind farm project. The club, opened by Donald Trump in 2012, claimed the turbines would spoil the view from the seaside course. (Photo by Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images)

The petrochemical plants inside the complex make materials used in products such as diapers, chewing gum, tires and makeup. The state government gives Exxon permission to pump out millions of pounds of air pollution each year from its Baton Rouge complex.
