El Paso Demands Answers from Marathon | Texas News

El Paso City Council is stepping up pressure on Marathon Petroleum after massive chemical emissions—including nearly 20 pounds of 1,3-butadiene and 9,000 pounds of propylene—sent toxic fumes across the community, causing nausea and headaches. The city plans a joint public meeting with TCEQ and EPA within 30 days to demand answers and transparency, while also pushing for improved air quality monitoring around the refinery. Marathon declined to attend the council meeting, citing ongoing regulatory channels—but residents are demanding accountability as the council votes April 18th on next steps to protect public health.
