"BP oil refinery workers in Texas win damages of $100m"
source: bbc
A US jury has awarded $100m (£62m) in damages to 10 workers who said a leak at a BP oil refinery in Texas in 2007 had made them sick. The source of the leak at the refinery south of Houston was never identified and environmental agencies reported no evidence linking it to the refinery. BP concluded that any toxic substance had come from outside. But lawyers for the workers argued the odour had come from a sulphur recovery unit at the plant.
