Detroit, Michigan, USA. 28th January 2016. Residents of the neighborhood near Marathon Petroleum's oil refinery attend a Detroit city council public hearing, opposing a proposal to allow the refinery to discharge higher quantities of sulfur dioxide and other pollutants. Marathon says it needs the change to be able to produce lower-sulfur gasoline. The low-income area, zip code 48217, is already the most polluted in Michigan. Credit: Jim West/Alamy Live News
