Dangerous Air Pollution in Texas City

Air pollution can be very dangerous even there is a possibility that the pollution can killed people. Just like the explosion case in 2005. This explosion was killed for about 26 people. The explosion was happened the beleaguered oil giant's Gulf Coast refinery. The cause was not the explosion but the impact after the explosion.

Specifically, the explosion created dangerous air pollution which could kill people around there. This tragedy was happened in Texas. Because of this tragedy BP will pay Texas $50 million. Besides paying Texas which such kind amount of money, BP also sold the Texas City refinery. Moreover, they also tried to clean the air so there will be no more victims who were killed because of dangerous air pollution. The agreement was made between North America and Texas. Of course, to reduce the impact of pollution violations BP was tried to improve their operation in Texas City refinery.

The focus of the improvement is on the safety and the compliance over air pollution violations. This plan was run well because in 2010 BP had more financial support up to $50.6 million. Some of the financial supports were used to help the victims of the explosion especially for health care. Then, there was also an additional financial support for about $30 million. Too bad, the regulation of BP’s Texas City refinery was not quite running well. This is concerning to the fact that the financial support above was not distributed well to solve the problem such as for the protection and monitoring program. Actually, they didn’t know when the dangerous come because there was no specific and accurate monitor program or system which can gave them information. Even, Matthew Tejada, executive director of the Houston Air Alliance said that $50 million is more than enough to fix Texas City from this massive dangerous caused by the explosion. He also said that six years was too long to clean and solve the problem because Texas people who got the impact of this dangerous air pollution.
