I grew up not far from Port Arthur TX. I am not surprised it is listed as a pollution hot spot. When I was there the beaches were always covered in oil and the air was thick with whatever the refineries released at night. I only knew it smelled awful and I later developed asthma. If it wasn’t for the refineries, there would be no jobs and no reason for my parents to have moved there. I mostly fault the bean counters. I know they can operate safely. They are just saving a few pennies.
