3. Why is it difficult to prove that emissions from a factory are causing harm to a community's health? Communities cannot be trusted when it comes to determining health. Other factors may cause harm to a community's health, such as car pollution and obesity. The effects of emissions and air pollution are detected years later. Emissions tend to affect poorer communities located near factories.
