Benzene Pound for Pound We Got More

Got this map from Bluedaze
blogspot, it shows Texas
leads America in Benzene
emissions. A claim to fame,
our Governor pooh-poohs.
He thinks EPA is meddling
in our bidness, I should
hope so, as the health effects
can be deadly.
Yes, there are other causes
of benzene releases, but if
you've noticed our rural
areas lately, you know big
Gas & Oil are mighty
players. You see, more
populous areas rate more
protection, be it air, noise,
water, whatever. Maybe it's
because of more eyes to
see.... surely not because
they think we are just
"rural" folks, so check out
this link and see for your-
self. http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2010/05/health/map.toxic.chemicals/index.html#
