The Harris County Attorneyโs Office said Arkema Inc.โs Crosby facility violated Texas environmental laws when toxic chemicals were released during flooding and fires. According to the lawsuit filed last week, the incident sickened responders and residents.
The lawsuit seeks up to $1 million in penalties and order Arkema to upgrade its emergency response plans.
