1998年，7岁的艾米丽·皮尔森死于脑癌。她是生活在印第安纳州哈蒙德四个街区的16个孩子中的一个，他们中的大多数（大多是蹒跚学步的孩子）都被诊断出患有罕见的癌症，所有这些癌症都与附近的Keil Chemicals（由Ferro Corporation拥有）释放的二氯乙烷（EDC）和氯乙烯有关。1993年，也就是艾米丽确诊的前一年，美国环境保护局表示，当地公司是美国最大的二氯乙烷排放者。它预测哈蒙德设施将导致数十种新的，否则可以避免的当地癌症。在许多幼儿死亡后，Ferro-Keil否认了责任，但承认每年释放20亿磅（907,184,470克）的EDC -只有一克对儿童来说是致命的（Shrader-Frechette 2007 a，3-7）。除了Ferro-Keil是否真的造成了所有这些印第安纳州儿童的死亡和受伤，它是否侵犯了他们的人权，使他们遭受高剂量的已知致癌物和神经毒素？为什么承认受污染威胁的弱势群体的人权是一个难题？
In 1998, seven-year-old Emily Pearson died of brain cancer. She was one of 16 children living in a four-block-area of Hammond, Indiana, of all of whom (mostly toddlers) were diagnosed with rare cancers, all clearly tied to ethylene-dichloride (EDC) and vinyl-chloride releases from nearby Keil Chemicals, owned by Ferro Corporation. In 1993, the year before Emily’s diagnosis, the US Environmental Protection Agency said the local corporation was the nation’s top emitter of EDC. It predicted the Hammond facility would cause scores of new, otherwise-avoidable local cancers. After many young children died, Ferro-Keil denied responsibility but admitted annually releasing 2,000,000,000 pounds (907,184,470 grams) of EDC – only a gram of which can be fatal for a child (Shrader-Frechette 2007a, 3–7). Apart from whether Ferro-Keil actually caused all these deaths and injuries of Indiana children, did it violate their human rights by subjecting them to high doses of known carcinogens and neurotoxins? Why is recognizing the human rights of vulnerable groups, threatened by pollution, a hard question?
