Egy texasi létesítményben történt ecetsav-szivárgás következtében ketten meghaltak, hatan megsérültek kedden.
A baleset a LyondellBasell komplexumban történt La Porte városában. A létesítmény közleménye szerint ecetsav-szivárgást észleltek egy olyan egységben, melyet korábban leállítottak tervezett karbantartás miatt. A szivárgás már megállt, a takarítás folyamatban van.

A balesetben két szállító meghalt, hatan pedig megsérültek – köztük a vállalat egyik alkalmazottja –, őket kórházba szállították – írja a Fox News.
A szivárgó anyagok súlyos égési sérülést tudnak okozni, belélegezve pedig mérgezőek.
A Harris megyei tűzoltóparancsnok elmondta, hogy jelenleg a fertőtlenítési folyamat zajlik, hozzátéve, hogy egy kisebb vegyi robbanás történt az üzemen belül.
