Recent petrochemical pollution incidents at ITC/Deer Park fire, Exxon fire, KMCO fire and the Bayport Channel ship/barge crash have released dangerous pollutants - benzene, xylene, butadiene, vinyl chloride and more - into our air and water. These are red light incidents. Pollution events are becoming routine, happening on average every six weeks in the Houston region.

Toxic substances released into our water and air we breathe impact our health depending on concentration and intensity of contact. Limited transparency and public awareness has numbed public understanding of actual health threats. Now, you can help shine light on the facts.
