"In clean rooms where chips are made, workers don protective clothing... But the garments are not meant to safeguard humans; they are designed to keep impurities from the chips. Air is recirculated, but filters trap dust, not chemical fumes. Over the course of their shifts, workers come in contact with dozens of carcinogens, including toluene, cadmium, arsenic, benzene, & TCE. They also can’t escape compounds created whose toxicity has never been tested, except on them."
