Why it matters.
Silfab's proposed facility is more than just a factory—it’s a heavy industrial operation that involves hazardous chemicals, posing serious risks to our community. Our neighborhood, zoned for light industry, is no place for dangerous substances that threaten our safety, health, and quality of life. With schools right next door, our children, teachers, and families are at direct risk. We must act now to protect Fort Mill from the consequences of this ill-suited industrial project. Join us in standing up for our community—because our homes, health, and future are not worth the gamble.
Experts Urge Action Against Silfab Solar’s Risks
Experts from Emory University’s Southeastern Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit (SE PEHSU)—funded by the EPA, CDC, and Public Health Institute—have issued a strong warning about the potential health and safety risks posed by Silfab Solar’s planned facility near Fort Mill schools. Their letter urges decision-makers to conduct an independent third-party evaluation of the dangers posed by hazardous chemicals like hydrofluoric acid and silane gas, which could impact children, pregnant women, and first responders. Despite this expert-backed warning, county officials have yet to act. Read on to learn why this Emory-backed letter is a critical call for immediate action.
