The flames of the Deer Park chemical fire<\/a> were extinguished, finally, on Wednesday after a brief flare-up, but the lingering health impacts of the blaze and the toxins released remain concerning unknowns.<\/p>\n

According to Deer Park Emergency Services, a storage tank caught fire on Sunday, March 17 at the Intercontinental Terminals Company facility in Deer Park and eventually spread to as many as 11 tanks. The ignition of petrochemical liquids and gases in storage sent a huge plume of black smoke into the air that settled into a dark cloud over the Houston area.<\/p>\n

By early Wednesday morning, officials released a statement alerting the public that the air contained elevated levels of benzene\u2014a colorless, sweet-smelling chemical that can be derived from natural gas, crude oil or coal, can cause cancer, infertility and birth defects in the developing fetus of pregnant women among other things according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/a><\/p>\n

The revelation about benzene-contaminated air \u201cverifies our suspicions that hydrocarbons have been released,\u201d said Kamran Boka, M.D., a pulmonologist and critical care physician at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth<\/a>) and Memorial Hermann Hospital<\/a>-Texas Medical Center. \u201cIf you have to stay in the area and cannot evacuate, the best thing to do is get a chemical filter<\/a> for a respirator that is approved for benzene and hydrocarbons and that can be picked up at a hardware store.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the announcement, a shelter-in-place order was issued for Deer Park and Galena Park residents due to elevated benzene levels. As a result, schools have been canceled. Residents have been advised to turn off air conditioners and heaters to keep outside air from coming in and to stay indoors as much as possible.<\/p>\n

Late Thursday, the U.S. Chemical Safety Board\u2014the federal agency that investigates industrial chemical accidents\u2014announced its probe<\/a> of the fire.<\/p>\n

Toxins could cause illness<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Although the fire occurred in Deer Park, a town located 20 miles east of Houston, the smoke plume loomed over the Bayou City and near the Texas Medical Center for three days.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have any evidence to be concerned in the immediate medical center area, but if people have respiratory symptoms anyway, they should be wearing masks,\u201d Boka said.<\/p>\n

Side effects and illnesses from the plume will be hard to pinpoint, the pulmonologist said, because there are many variables about the fire and chemicals that are not known presently.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this point, it is unclear what the potential effects will be,\u201d Boka said. \u201cWe are more concerned with the short-term and long-term effects of the hydrocarbon particles in the air\u2014especially depending on how long they will linger.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Harris County Public Health’s air monitoring reports, there continues to be a low health risk for most of the Greater Houston area. Residents experiencing respiratory symptoms\u2014coughing, difficulty breathing, irritation or burning in the skin, eyes, nose or throat or headaches, nausea or dizziness\u2014should contact their health care providers. At-risk populations including seniors, children, pregnant women and individuals with chronic health conditions including asthma, COPD and emphysema should be especially cautious.<\/p>\n

Air already causing tingles<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Potential health consequences from the fire could exacerbate reactions from unusually high amounts of pollen this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany people are complaining about itchy eyes and itchy throats, but keep in mind\u2014there is a lot of pollen<\/a> out there\u2014and with the sunshine we are finally having, that is going to increase our ozone counts,\u201d said KPRC Channel 2 Chief Meteorologist Frank Billingsley. \u201cThere is a real mix of ozone, pollen and, perhaps, whatever is in that smoke plume.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of Thursday, the ominous cloud had mostly vanished from the Houston sky, in part, because of the speed of the winds moving through Southeast Texas,\u00a0Billingsley noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe winds are calming down at night anywhere from zero to 5 miles an hour,\u201d he said. \u201cBut when the sun comes up in the morning and then by the afternoon, we are back up to about 10 to 15 mph and the afternoon breeziness helps a lot to disperse the cloud.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
