e go pain propati pipu, beht safety fest.



In Port Arthur Texas, home to eight oil and chemical industrial sites, the egg-like, putrid smell of toxic chemicals spews from oil refinery smokestacks every hour of every day.

That stench stands as a reminder to the people who live there that what they smell and breathe is, indeed, making them sick.

Port Arthur, comprised primarily of people of color, is located in an area where cancer rates are 15 percent higher among African Americans than they are for the average Texan. And mortality rates from cancer in Jefferson County where Port Arthur is situated are 40 percent higher, according to the Texas Cancer Registry.
In Houston, Texas, the largely Latino neighborhood of Manchester is home to the Valero oil refinery and lymphocytic leukemia rates are 56 percent higher for children.

This issue is not limited to these communities alone.

Each year, the nation’s nearly 150 oil refineries operating in 32 states emit thousands of tons of hazardous air pollutants, including substances that cause cancer. This problem impacts everyone. Half of the people that are at an increased cancer risk from refineries’ pollution are people of color. Latinos, African Americans and low-income people are more likely to live near refineries and, unfortunately, those groups face significantly higher cancer rates than other groups.

mods, avoid another MMM type of scam.

most people who buy land near there are bound for regret.

it's also possible that a housing bubble forms there that affects the whole state in 3-5 years.

therefore we have an obligation to inform people.
