The fertilizer explosion that killed 15 people in West, Texas, has led to a debate about new regulations on the depots that host ammonium nitrate.

A Wall Street Journal investigation has found that in Texas, a state that is the fourth-leading ammonium nitrate user, agricultural facilities like the one in West appear to be rare. The Journal examined chemical inventories for about 70,000 facilities in reports submitted to the Texas Department of State Health Services. Only 68 for the facilities last year reported storing at least 10,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate in solid form, the Journal reported. Of the 68, half are owned by companies that store commercial explosives, which can make them subject to inspections from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. They are also subject to regulations, including having to keep a minimum distance from occupied buildings and highways.

A new proposal put forth by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would add new warnings of cancer risks on indoor tanning beds, while also implementing stricter federal oversight and impose age restrictions on those who use the devices.

The FDA is taking this action in an attempt to limit cases of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Melanoma has been on the rise for nearly 30 years. Around  2.3 million U.S. teenagers partake in indoor tanning each year, and melanoma is the second most common form of cancer among young adults, the American Academy of Dermatology said.

A patchwork of federal and state regulations and zoning laws regarding land use near facilities handling dangerous chemicals has come under scrutiny after the explosion in West, Texas, which killed 14 people and injured an additional 200.

Critics of the zoning laws say that they are often more adjusted to property owners’ rights than the people who live and work near industrial sites, Bloomberg.com said. Although only 2,800 people live in West, millions of people across the U.S. live and work near high-risk chemical plants, according to a report based on Congressional Research Service data. The report revealed that 89 chemical facilities put more than 1 million nearby residents at risk.
