(KTTS News) — An air quality study of a chemical plant in Verona finds high levels of cancer causing chemicals in the air near the plant.

The EPA says the highest concentrations of ethylene oxide are near the BCP Ingredients Plant.

The closer people live to the plant, the more emissions people breathe in.

The EPA plans to do more testing to reduce the risk of cancer.
