What significantly influences it

They keep weakening the water standard my treaty rights depend on, and never explain the health link to us.

Communities lack political representation to demand health impact studies, so the pollution-health link is never formally investigated.

Judged not to be linked

Union rep for plant workers says a shutdown for non‑compliance costs jobs immediately, while a weak rule endangers his members' health for over twenty years and he must choose which fight to pursue.
