Here’s a small handful of the people who are out fighting the good fight. There are many more, but here’s the short list.

James Hiatt
Executive Director of For A Better Bayou
“These facilities continuously have problems with their thermal oxidizer, a piece of equipment necessary to combust these hydrogen carbons so they’re not released into the atmosphere. We’re talking about Benzene, which is a known carcinogen, that causes respiratory distress, and we’re talking about carbon monoxide and thiophene and other volatile organic compounds, that regularly released into the atmosphere that effect everybody and has significantly contributed to the air quality of Cameron.”
