The explosion and fire have been reported to be located at the Isomax unit, which the refinery uses for fuel distillation and cracking, part of the process of converting oil to gasoline, diesel, and other products.

The 5-minute averages of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions peaked at 541.53 parts per billion at 11 p.m. at a monitoring location on the east border of the facility. Black carbon readings were slightly elevated, but local PM2.5 low-cost sensor readings didn't show much, if any, impact.

Several years ago @southcoastaqmd.bsky.social adopted a regulation (Rule 1180) that requires the refinery to monitor air quality at their fence line and post data on a website. You can see the data at elsegundo1180.com. 🧵
