Houston ranked among worst cities for ozone, air pollution: report
YouTube video by KPRC 2 Click2Houston Houston ranked among worst cities for ozone, air pollution: report

The American Lung Association reported #Houston recently got a"F" for its air quality. Why is it such an issue in Texas? Houston is home to the largest petrochemical complex in the US. #Petrochemicals @LungAssociation @BeyondPetrochem #BFFP #PlasticsTreaty
