I don't think "Prop.65" proved anything, in and of itself. However, I would certainly disclose the existence of the chemical plant and advise would-be buyers to make their own investigation. I'd be cautious about going into detail about the chemicals emitted and their possible health consequences. As a seller, you're supposed to disclose what you know, not to pose as a hazardous-materials expert.
If you are worried about potential chemical effects from a neighboring plant, you may want to consider purchasing a home somewhere else. If you are the seller, you need to make the required disclosures. Your real estate agent should be able to help you with that.
