Examples are benzene, hydrofluoric acid, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and many, many other toxic pollutants. In 2016 it accounted for 57% of total toxic emissions from larger sources in the city, including benzene and other known carcinogens. Refining uses many risky industrial processes.

Nitrogen oxides, which can cause damage to the respiratory pathways as well as the burning of eyes and skin, are byproducts of high temperature combustion. Flaring, which is shown here, as well as venting, can be a significant source of both nitrogen oxides and greenhouse gas emissions such as methane.
