Lawmakers fight to ban potent chemical after toxic explosion: 'Risks of a catastrophic release'
On the 10-year anniversary of a nearly catastrophic incident, California officials and local advocacy groups continue to fight for the removal of a potent chemical. On February 18, 2015, a large explosion rocked the surrounding area of Torrance, California. The explosion that originated at the ExxonMobil Torrance Refinery left four workers injured and blanketed the surrounding area in a potentially toxic dust. According to a report released by the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, the incident occurred when ExxonMobil was attempting to isolate equipment for maintenance while the unit was in an "idled mode of operation." While personnel were preparing for the maintenance, a change in pressure allowed hydrocarbons to backflow through the process and ignite in the electrostatic precipitator, a pollution control device. The report also described a "near miss event" that took place when explosion debris came very close to striking nearby tanks containing thousands of pounds of modified hydrofluoric acid (MHF), which may have resulted in an increased loss of life in the immediate area of the incident. "Had the tank ruptured, it would have caused a release of MHF, which is highly toxic," a 2017 news release from the U.S. Chemical Safety Board stated. That "near miss event" left Congresswoman Maxine Waters concerned about the possibility of a future disaster involving hydrofluoric acid (HF). "Torrance Refinery should be commended for their safety investments," Waters said. "But the risks of a catastrophic release of HF cannot be eliminated as long as the refinery continues to use it. "It's time for the Torrance Refinery to just do the right thing and convert to a safer alternative." Waters introduced House Resolution 10441, a bill that aims to require the use of HF alternatives at refineries. Do you worry about having toxic forever chemicals in your home? Majorly Sometimes Not really I don't know enough about them Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Joining Waters in the fight to ban MHF is the Torrance Refinery Action Alliance. The organization is a grassroots collection of members of the Torrance community who wish to convince nearby refineries to switch from MHF to safer "commercially-proven alternatives" such as ionic liquid catalysts. Not only are ionic liquid catalysts described as environmentally friendly, but they have been proven to be less volatile than MHF. One major roadblock to switching to alternatives is the current cost, which many local unions fear would cause refineries to reduce their workforces.

27 Things To Buy If You Are A Big Baby About The Cold
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Because having ice cold skin is only hot if you're a teenage vampire and you sparkle in the sun... 1. A pair of SUPER comfy suede Lamo faux-fur clogs if you're tired of your toes freezing when you step out for the mail or walk around the cold floors in your home. These are SO warm and cute, and are reminiscent of Ugg styles but with a much cozier price tag. L amo is a small business from Southern California that's been around since 1995. They focus on sheepskin kicks for warmth, comfort, and style, and I've *already* ordered another two pairs because my mom and sister have both tried to steal mine. (If you're reading this, Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.) Get it from Amazon for $54.95+ (available in sizes 5–12 and three colors). 2. A cult-favorite Carhartt beanie literally designed to keep people who work outside warm in the winter, so you *know* this has got your head and your cozy factor covered. With so many colors to choose from (and for such a great price!) you might just need a few to go with different outfits! Promising review:"Saw this hat on TikTok and decided to place my order! It can get very cold where I live, especially during morning time when I'm walking my dog. I need to keep my ears warm! The material is so soft, and there are many color options." — MHF Get it from Amazon for $15.79+ (available in 14 colors). 3. Some high-waisted fleece-lined leggings so you can frolic in the chilly elements to your heart's desire but not have ice blocks for thighs and calves. Promising review:"These are so warm but still so sleek! Totally opaque, long inseam, buttery soft, and they've got pockets! I machine wash them in cold water and then hang them to dry. I have two pairs in black and I wear the heck out of them. Worth every penny." — Cassandra Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3X, three styles, and 29 colors). 4. A Dreo space heater tower perfect for anti-cold gremlins because it oscillates and has a remote, so you don't even have to leave your fav cozy spot to get up and change the heat levels. This one is SO luxurious and is easily the new fave in my family. Promising review:"100% worth the extra money it cost's over it's competitors. The heat output is smooth and not harsh like most other electric heaters. Also it is so effective and next to silent. It's an amazing looking heater too. Very chic and just a great add to a room. Most heaters are ugly and clunky, not this one. The remote control is awesome as well and you can set the amount of oscillating angel all the way up to 120 degrees. I love how quickly it makes the room feel cozy. I am sure I will save money by not using the forced air heaters my apartment has since they feel like they run continuously. It's perfect for staying toasty when watching tv. I love it has a ECO setting as well. Don't hesitate on buying this heater. DREO products all have amazingly great build quality. I now own 3 of their products. Portable air conditioner, 16in air circulator, and now this heater. I am excited to try their other products. I will most definitely buy this brand again." — david aragon Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in three colors). 5. A pair of winter boots with nonslip soles that won't break your back while you're on icy sidewalks or your piggy bank. Reviewers LOVE the look and feel of these and say they more than hold up to even the snowiest of hikes. Promising review: "I purchased these to wear while walking my dog 1+ miles daily, and wanted to feel safe walking in the snow and ice. The anti slip tread on these boots did not disappoint. They are sturdy and allow me to walk without any slipping. My feet stay warm while walking through snow and ice sludge in the street." — lovetoshop Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in women's sizes 5–11 and five colors). 6. A pair of rechargeable magnetic hand warmers so you can save your hands and the environment by ditching the one-time-use warmers. Plus, these are so much cuter??? Ditch the frozen digits and clutch these instead! Promising reviews:"These rechargeable hand warmers are amazing! I can't wait to use them this winter. The level three setting gets very hot and will be great when I have gloves on." — Maryann "Love this! My office is just north of freezing at any given time and these keep my hands from becoming ice cubes. Great cost for what you get and I love that it's rechargeable with USB-C." — Jeffrey Regan Get them from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five colors). 7. Or some HotHands hand warmers if you forget to charge the others and want a grab-and-go heating situation you can stuff into your gloves or pockets on the way out the door. They are air-activated, too, so all you have to do is pop open the packaging and give them a good shake. Promising review:"I keep a continual supply of these in my vehicle for several reasons. I drop these in my pockets to warm my hands and body at hockey games, but honestly, any time I spend a great deal of time outside in the winter, I have them just in case. Once they heat up, you can put them in gloves, pockets, or anywhere you need to keep warm (I've put them in my knit hat before). Depending on the temps and where you place them, two to four hours of warmth can last." — Miss Hollis Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $16.49. 8. A pair of winter socks to wear beneath shoes or all on their own and with plenty of color choices to match your fave jammies/outfit/cozy aesthetic. Promising review:"Love them! They are so warm. I am cold every month of the year. My feet stay blue. Not with these. They are warm, look good, and feel good. I can wear them with a low-cut shoe. I've washed them in the machine and hung them up to dry. No problem. Highly recommend for those of us with perennial cold feet." — Frances Get a set of five from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in 24 color combos and packs). 9. A heated jacket because hot spots aren't just for phones anymore: They're also for your chest and back to keep you warm on the burrrr- iest of days. With up to 10 hours of charge and three heat settings, you are basically the captain of your own snuggly ship, no matter how icy the waters. Check out a TikTok of the heated jacket in action. Promising review:"I was honestly kind of skeptical about this at first because it took a bit of time to heat up all the way, but once it did I was absolutely in love. It gets so warm and is absolutely perfect. It's very very well made and luxurious feeling. 10/10." — Ezra Adair Get it from Amazon in two styles: $159.99 (available in women's sizes XS–2X and three colors) and $109.99+ (available in men's sizes S–3XL and three colors). 10. A pair of touchscreen-friendly gloves so you can still check the weather app to see when the snow is going to let up, but without removing your gloves and risking frostbite. Promising review:"I love these gloves. These fit well, they are soft, and warm. The pads on the palm and fingers give them a sure grip and the nodules on the thumb and two fingers allow me to use my iPhone without taking them off. These are the best gloves I've ever had." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 16 colors). 11. A ginormous super soft oversize scarf ideal for blustery days because it'll keep your neck from getting chilly and make even your coziest, bulkiest cold-weather outfits look chic and Audrey Hepburn-esque. Amazon Promising review: "Would 100% buy again. The SOFTEST material ever. And it is oversized to perfection. Looks just like the picture which I was skeptical lol. I love it. I need another color." — Heather Get it from Amazon for $14.30+ (available in 26 colors). 12. An insulated, weatherproof, and soundproof strip to reinforce your doors and windows because the best defense is a good offense when it comes to keeping the cold out and the cozy hobbit vibes in. This also improves soundproofing, so if you've been hearing your neighbor's tunes and toons a little too much lately, this can help! Promising review:"JUST WHAT I NEEDED! This weatherstrip worked great for me. It came in two attached strips with an adhesive backing. The strips can be separated as needed. It was easy to peel the backing and install the strips. I installed both strips on the door casing where the door meets it when closed. It immediately stopped the draft that was coming in around the door." — RH in TN Get it from Amazon for $6.57+ (available in two sizes and four colors). 13. A huge SOFT Clementine Kids astrological throw blanket if you've ever held a baby blanket and thought, "Wait, why can't I have this in my size?" Great news: YOU CAN. I finally bought one of these after being targeted on Insta for months, and I am just kicking myself that I waited so long. These are made of four layers of warm but breathable 100% cotton and are designed to get softer with every wash, so basically a PERFECT snuggle layer. Seriously, I bought this with my own human dollars because the prints are CUTE and I was always envious of my son's muslin baby blanket, but that thing barely covers one of my legs. (Yes, I tried. Sue me.) NO MORE, THOUGH! I have my very own adult baby blanket. Plus, they have "big and little" blanket bundles so you can get a smaller throw along with your adult-sized so your little blanket monster doesn't try to take *yours*. My son is THRILLED that we have matching mushroom blankets, now. 14. Or a hyper-luxurious Lola blanket with double-sided softness and the perfect amount of comfy cozy weight to help you reach maximum snuggle potential. And it LOOKS divine folded over any armchair or sofa. Look, if a Lola blanket is good enough for Simone Biles, it's MORE THAN GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME. Plus, it was founded in honor of Amy Higham who fought breast cancer for years and found comfort in her own soft blanket. Lola Blankets donates portions of their proceeds (and blankets!) to women with stage four breast cancer and cancer research. Promising reviews:"Softest blanket ever!! So snuggly!! It's well worth the price! I have two already; we will eventually have them in every room, lol." — Kara "This is the softest blanket we have owed. It's a great weight — not too heavy — not too light. Super cozy. This is the third blanket we've purchased and will be getting more for gifts." — marilyse s. Get it from Lola Blankets for $109+ (available in three sizes and 32 colors). 15. A pair of wireless headband headphones if you love to listen to audiobooks, white noise, or music but don't love having uncomfy headphones stuffed over your head or in your cold ears. These headband headphones are designed to be comfy, warm, and give you great sound! Promising review: "This is a great product for running outdoors or hiking! In some circumstances, ears can get cold very quickly and cause ear pain or ringing outdoors. The cloth lining here has been very helpful in reducing these side-effects. The band is also more comfortable than earbuds for casual listening in my opinion. Sound leaks through at loud volumes so it is best used in a casual setting or outdoors. The band is very easy to clean in the washing machine." — LL Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in 20 colors). 16. A stainless-steel electric kettle for the cups and cups of tea you'll be making to warm your insides. This truly gorgeous British-branded gadget can give you the perfect brew every time, ensuring you won't have to microwave your mug ever again. Look, if our friends across the pond are good at anything, it's tea. American/British relations haven't been this good since Red, White, and Royal Blue, y'all. Promising reviews:"As a tea drinker, this is a must. Not sure why I used stovetop kettle for so many years. This kettle heats water much faster. I think I was concerned about size. It is on the tall side, but is not out of proportion, or take up that much room. Love the automatic shutoff once comes to a full boil ( before I was racing to the stove). No need for a hot pad. Pink covering protects your thermometer allows me to see the precise temp. Overall, super cute. If you frequently use a kettle it is worth the price." — RAVEN "This tea kettle is a must have! I like this tea kettle, it is beautiful and sturdy. It performs well, I use it several times a day to make my tea and boil water for cooking. It is easy to use and the weight clearly displays the quality. It is easy to clean and it is electric and has an auto shut off. The price was a bit on the higher side but it was still worth the buy. It is not noisy when it is boiling. I really recommend." — Lisa Get it from Amazon for $64.83+ (available in seven styles). 17. Some fleece-lined joggers to really layer in the snuggly material for your Netflix marathons, errand running, and everything in-between. Reviewers love the feel of the fleece and that the pants don't do any wonky shrinking after repeated washes, which means these joggers are in for the long, cozy haul. Amazon Promising review: "These are the most awesome and warm sweats ever. Love the fit, fabric, and style with zippered pockets. So nice to have a zippered pocket as I actually wear these to work on cold days. I work outside and love the comfort of this pant. Not to mention the great feel on the inside. I have washed them several times and they come out perfect and do not shrink either. I loved them so much I bought two other pairs in different colors." — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $37.87+ (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and 17 colors). 18. A heated toilet seat so your midnight potty breaks aren't also wide-awake-frozen-bum breaks. This one also includes a built-in light, which is *super* handy if you're just trying to make it from the bathroom and then back to your snuggly bed in record time. Promising review:"We live in a very cold area where overnight temperatures are actually below-freezing in the wintertime. This thing takes the fear out of sitting on a cold toilet seat on a cold winter day. This seat is really warm, even on the lowest setting." — U.M. Get it from Amazon for $129. 19. A perennially trendy teddy jacket because if we're going to take ultra-comfy and warm fashion advice from anyone, it's the likes of Pooh Bear and Paddington. Amazon, Promising review:"I waited entirely too long to buy one of these!! I live in the northeast where we have brutally cold winters. The heat in my apartment is wonky and I'm always cold in the morning while at my desk. This jacket is SO warm, cozy and snuggly. It feels like wearing a hug!! I can't wait until next winter (first time in my entire four decades on earth I've ever said that!) so I can wear it again." — jamie lynn prata Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in women's sizes S—3XL and 17 colors). 20. Or a lightweight quilted jacket for layering, especially if you're going for that coastal fisherman core look but still want to feel roasty toasty. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the quilted jacket in action. Promising review: "I have THREE of this jacket in different colors. I'm obsessed!!! Quality is gorgeous and the fit is true to zie. However, I size up one for a looser more oversized look which I LOVE! It works perfectly. Very warm and comfortable. Super soft and great quality — not too thin or thick. Also looks expensive. Couldn't recommend more." — luluprime Psst — if you have Amazon Prime Wardrobe, you can try this piece out before you buy it! Get it from Amazon for $55.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XXL and 16 colors). 21. A temper-control Ember smartmug so you can make your coffee or tea and not have to GUZZLE IT like a beverage fiend before it gets cold. This handy mug and lil' charging base are app-controlled and give you up to 80 minutes of beverage-saving-heat time! Ashley Schumacher/BuzzFeed Promising reviews:"I honestly went into this thinking that this product would not work as I envision it in my head, but, oh my god, it's unbelievable. I loved it so much that I bought the bigger 14oz. I find myself drinking my tea faster. What I love is that no matter what I am doing, even when I get super busy, I return and my tea is still nice and warm, the way I like it. Definitely a must if you are a tea or coffee drinker." — TS Jones "I love hot coffee but hate when it gets lukewarm. Always feel like I'm rushing to finish it. With the Ember, my coffee stays the perfect temp the whole time. I'm looking forward to my morning cup 100x more now, and enjoy every sip. Love this product." — Chris Smith Get it from Amazon for $129.95+ (available in two sizes and nine colors). 22. A ridiculously cute microwaveable stuffed animal you can pop in the microwave and use as your very own mini furnace. (Just like a real pet, but this one doesn't need to be bribed to go out and pee in the snow!) These "Warmies" are each filled with all-natural grain and dried lavender, so you can microwave them to use them as heating pads or pop in a sealed bag in the freezer for two to three hours to use them as a cold pack. Promising review: "Heated it in microwave for only 30 seconds — at first touch, it felt cool, but then felt comfy warm, and stayed warm for long time. It was never scalding hot, just comfy warm that you can only feel by keeping around after a couple of minutes. Lavender scent is also very good. Looks cute like a cuddly puppy." — S. Garg Get it from Amazon for $31.25 (also available in other animals). 23. A TRULY MAGICAL towel warmer to transform any bathroom corner into a wonderland of coziness and elegant vibes. I LOVE the white with the brushed gold-tone base and lid handle and don't mind leaving it out as an accessory because it elevates ~the look~ of my bathroom. Ashley Schumacher/BuzzFeed Psst. You can also put blankets in here before movie nights to make your blanket nests ELITE. You're welcome. Promising reviews:"I bought this only a few weeks ago and my husband and I use it faithfully after a shower. Instead of being freezing cold out of the shower, the device brings all the warmth and touch of luxury we need. The features are simple to use and it heats fairly quickly. Best purchase so far for 2024!" — Ashb24 "My husband ordered the Pure Enrichment Towel Warmer because our master bath is over the garage and can get chilly in the winter months. The warm towels feel like absolute bliss! The only drawback is that now all of our kids want their towels to likewise be warm and toasty. Perfect solve for our chilly bathroom woes!" — Katherine Get it from Pure Enrichment for $149.99 (available in two colors). 24. An ultra-comfy oversized strawberry sweater with pockets so your hands and secret-comfy-snacks will always have a place to go. Reviewers love that this is big enough to fold your legs beneath so you can have a portable blanket nest wherever you go! Aemicion is a small business specializing in oversized comfy sweaters. Promising review: "Literally so perfect, very soft and comfortable, the colors are very vibrant and beautiful. If I start moving around my house doing chores it does get a little warm, but I run warm most of the time and keep my house super cold so it not an issue at all!! I can't wait for the fall/winter to come because this will be a game changer!!" — Nicole Muse Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in 23 styles as well as kid sizes). 25. A BedJet climate control sleep system because your sleep temp will be ~perfect~ with this thing. TRUST. ME. The BedJet can blow cold and hot air and is ridiculously programable so that you can reach sleeping temp perfection and be so much more well-rested for it. If your ideal cozy is "mountain of blankets but I don't want to sweat under said mountain" or you're just looking for some warm air on your toesies, THIS IS FOR YOU! Here's a TikTok to show you the majesty of the BedJet in action! A splurge, but the kind I can personally testify can save six bajillion girl math dollars in the long run. I have one of these at home and can keep my house temp ridiculously colder at night now that I've got a comfy bed fan to ensure I don't freeze. This gadget is SERIOUSLY what dreams are made of, and if you're at all uncomfortable in your sleeping situation, this is the ticket: Warmer, cooler, whatever you need! Promising reviews:"I've had it for two nights now and had doubts about such an expensive item. It really does cool you UNDER the blankets. I'm an EXTREMELY hot sleeper. I have to have a fan on me. The first night, I had the fan on because I wasn't sure. By the second night, I had the BedJet set to 45% fan, and my fan was off. And I was COOL and comfortable all night. It is absolutely wonderful to sleep so comfortably. If you are a hot sleeper, please please do yourself a favor and TRY it. You will not be sorry. It is wonderful. I would absolutely buy it again, and now my gf is thinking she wants to dual-zone so she can have her side set up the way she likes it. She's THAT impressed with what it does for me." — Brian Garcia "I'm crying, and I'm so happy!! I've had my new BedJet running for 15 minutes... I'm never going to leave my bed again. This is heaven. I'm home. We use an every season lightweight down comforter, and it works beautifully with the BedJet. I'M ALREADY SO HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE!" — Chihuahua Mama 26. A pair of my personal fav Dearfoams teddy bear slippers as cute as they are comfy. What I love about these in particular (BIG Dearfoams fan here, but who isn't?) is that they have the kind of firm sole that means I can run down to the mailbox, but not *so* hard that I can't curl my feet under me on the couch. Plus, they're just so gosh darn adorable. I'm already eyeing the matching reindeer pair. Ashley Schumacher/BuzzFeed, Amazon 27. A tabletop firepit because s'mores and perfect cozy fire vibes are an unalienable right, and this will ensure you can make delicious treats and warm your appendages no matter your living situation. (God, where was this when I lived in my apartment???) Promising review:"This product was very straightforward to set up and get started. It threw a surprising amount of heat for such a small device, but it worked for exactly what I bought it for—making s'mores with friends. We have a fire pit on our property, but it is currently taken over by weeds and brush. This was quick to set up, quick to get a flame going, and easy to maintain. Even better—easy to let it die out. We didn't have to spend the whole night waiting for the fire to slowly die out on its own to be able to pack it up and take back in the house." — Alyssa Steeves Get it form Amazon for $49.99+ (available in two sizes and in seven colors).
