Chemicals spark fires at Crosby plant, officials say chemical is 'noxious'

in #texas7 years ago (edited)

Richard Rennerd, President of Arkema's Acrylic Monomers division, addressed reporters Thursday morning and emphasized a chemical release is not occurring. He warned that inhaling the smoke emanating from the blaze could still pose health risks to the lungs and eyes, "like any fire."
Rennerd refused to outright say whether the chemicals are toxic.

Sounds to me like likes there's the potential for a chemical release and this refusal to say anything is to cover the company's ass.
