Texas has plenty of refineries and the children there aren’t dying or choking on the air.

It has to do with LA geography. The surrounding landscape traps the pollution so it cannot dissipate away from the city.

I'm certain the number of children suffering illness or even dying due to air pollution from Texas refineries is more than zero. Not very high, I imagine, but not zero. There is a very real human cost to these things which we really like to ignore.
