Ontario chemical company says federal, provincial governments unfairly targeting it

, plastics plant says it is being unfairly and"relentlessly targeted" by the federal and provincial governments, which have both recently instituted new rules specifically aimed at benzene emissions from that one facility.

The province has issued four orders to Ineos Styrolution since 2019, recently temporarily shut down the facility and added new conditions to its licence that it must meet before it restarts operations, but the government says benzene levels remain elevated. In a statement Thursday, Ineos says it has consistently operated within regulatory limits, but new limits have been imposed without consultation, justification or due process.

"We will not jeopardize the safety of our employees, neighbours, and community," the company wrote in a statement.
