<br/><br/> "Fifteenth Street and a chain-link fence are all that separate residents of Carver Terrace apartments in Port Arthur, Texas, from a refinery that discharges millions of pounds of harmful chemicals into the air every year....Residents hoped for a change after authorities announced in March 2001 that the refinery's owner, Motiva Enterprises, had agreed to millions of dollars in pollution-control measures. The improvements, to start within months, would reduce emissions of carcinogens and other chemicals linked to respiratory disease, cardiovascular problems and even premature death." (FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM) This article discusses the lack of "clean-air enforcement at many of the nation's 145 oil refineries, even though they remain among the country's worst air polluters."
