Nine years ago, the Torrance Refinery narrowly missed a mass release of toxic HF/MHF. If the 40-ton piece of equipment had landed mere feet closer, the tank of Hydrofluoric Acid (aka HF/MHF) would have been damaged, leading to a potentially catastrophic, mass casualty event. People within a 5.3 mile radius of the refinery would have been put at risk for possible death or serious, irreversible damage to their health from the resulting deadly, ground-hugging gas cloud.
Learn more about the dangers of Hydrofluoric Acid or HF/MHF used at the Torrance and Wilmington refineries, hear from experts and elected officials and rally for a safer community. Join in telling Valero Energy Corporation (based in Texas) and PBF Energy, Inc. (based in New Jersey) that communities deserve safer places to live, learn and work.
For more information about the dangers of HF/MHF, a list of commercially-available alternatives to the deadly chemical, and the status of the fight for safer communities/working conditions, visit www.traa.website and www.facebook.com/TorranceRefineryActionAlliance
