Report Copyright Violation | BP Defends emissions release in Texas City [ link to galvestondailynews.com] For the first time since it was revealed that more than 500,000 pounds of emissions — including several tons of benzene — were released into the air by the BP Texas City refinery, the refinery’s manager addressed the incident publicly.
“Our conclusion that the event caused no health impacts to our workers or the community is based on real-time data from scientific instruments maintained by both BP and external parties,” Casey wrote.
Still, while informed of the compressor outage on April 6, city officials were not made aware of the extent of the emissions event until June 4. The city’s director of homeland security said in a meeting last week with BP officials the city emphasized the need of better sharing of information about what takes place within the refinery. Well of course they're going to say there was no harm to anyone, they say the oil has stopped gushing, the gulf is clean and the seafood is good! Last Edited by Yee Haw on 08/14/2010 10:22 AM |
