Juan and his organization, Air Alliance Houston, are striving to protect people against pervasive air pollution, the source of innumerable ills. The offending companies dump hundreds of thousands of pounds of invisible carcinogens into the air as the government sits idly by. What regulations exist to protect the people, who are mostly communities of color and lower income folks, are side-stepped as companies pay minor fines and move on, continuing to emit toxins into the air as they rake in vast profits. Juan heads a campaign to install dozens of air quality monitors, gathering data to hold the polluters accountable. He knows it's a race against time, but the next big catastrophe happens sooner than anyone anticipates. The fires and flares may smell like money to those managing the oil companies, far from the neighborhoods where hazardous smoke billows from the stacks that mar the landscape. But to the people of Galena Park and Pasadena, it Smells Like danger and trouble ahead. See less
