You can get darn close in some places. I mean, in Texas, residential damage and evacuations from chemical plant explosions are practically routine. I live in a neighborhood surrounded by biotech labs, which tend not to blow up, though we do joke a bit about being zombie-apocalypse-ground-zero (also, every available developable lot gets sucked up by a new lab project). And of course, in some rural areas, the proximity of farms waste lagoons and low-income neighborhoods is a serious issue.

Locals sometimes call the Kawawha Valley "Chemical Valley." Kids growing up learn different lyrics to The Mickey Mouse Club: M - I - C — Methyl isocyanate! K - E - Y — It's why we evacuate!

Because the plants always got built on the outskirts and then the outskirts expanded. The same thing used to happen in the formerly industrial parts of CA before CA kicked out most of its heavy industry over the decades.
