Residents in Texas City can breathe easier after a shelter-in-place order was lifted earlier today. The order, issued by the Texas City Office of Emergency Management, was due to a temporary increase in sulfur dioxide emissions from the Marathon Galveston Bay Refinery. The situation, caused by an "operational upset," was resolved by midday, and air quality readings returned to normal levels, with no reported injuries or significant impact on residential areas. Authorities assure the public that they will continue monitoring the situation to ensure safety.
Sulfur dioxide emissions can pose respiratory risks, especially for individuals with asthma or other sensitivities, but prompt action by the refinery and local authorities mitigated the incident.
Stay updated with the latest from Texas City on air quality, emergency response, and more through reliable news outlets.
