All I know is, these fertilizer plants should NEVER be located near anything, and should be closely regulated and monitored.

yeah..........but it matters which came first..... In the Jersey case I'm aware of, the chemical plant was in an old industrial district. As some old industries folded, the factories were torn down and replaced by new two family homes.......in this instance ....right across the street from a large specialty gas supplier.that stored literally many tons of ethylene oxide..... among numerous other dangerous chemicals. FYI....ethylene oxide is extremely dangerous stuff.....it's both a flammable and oxidizer together......only needs a spark to set it off....even a static discharge will do it
