After years in the making, officials in Galena Park reveal the new system that is designed to alert the area when air quality is poor, following residents complaining of foul odor.
Trucks create exhaust, and plants refine chemicals- a combination that could make the community in Galena Park likely experience poor air quality.
Following the 2019 ITC plant explosion, community leaders knew it was time to take air quality testing and safety alerts into their own hands. This real-time alert is vital. The state and county monitor systems are currently in place but only cover some of Galena Park, and Elhers said there is a lag in the data.
