Mississippi residents sue UK-owned biomass firm granted permit for more emissions
Mississippi residents are suing Drax Biomass, a UK-owned biomass firm, after it was granted a permit to become a "major source" of hazardous air pollution at its wood pellet production plant in the town of Gloster. The residents claim they have experienced health concerns due to the air pollution from the Drax Biomass facility. The company had previously been denied permission to increase emissions, but has now been granted the permit, despite local residents' warnings about the adverse health impacts they have already faced. The lawsuit highlights the ongoing tensions between the company's operations and the concerns of the local community, who feel that the increase in emissions will further exacerbate the health issues they have been experiencing.
