Smog in Pennsylvania and the fire-lit Cuyahoga, for example, illustrated just how dearly the environment needed policy reform. However, these incidents didn’t build up over night: Air pollution damages the earth’s…

First, before the plant even experienced the natural disaster, Tepco trained their workers sloppily. Many criticize Tepco’s poor protective measures. Similarly, upon plant failure, Tepco hired unskilled clean-up labor, and did so through subcontractors, leaving people at a significantly higher risk of radiation…

After that, more than 200,000 people were sent in to help the clean-up efforts. They were exposed to very high levels of radiation.
