HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Kutayikira kwa mankhwala ku fakitale ina ku La Porte kunapha anthu awiri ndikuvulaza anthu ambiri Lachiwiri usiku. Mankhwalawa amagwiritsidwa ntchito m'njira zosiyanasiyana, kuphatikizapo kugwiritsidwa ntchito ndi anthu. Koma mu mawonekedwe ake oyera, amatha kuwononga, kuyaka komanso kupha.
Ngozi yomwe idachitika ku LyondellBasell complex idatulutsa pafupifupi mapaundi 100,000 a acetic acid, zomwe zidapangitsa kuti opulumuka apse komanso kuti apume mosavuta.
Asidi ya acetic ndi madzi opanda mtundu, mankhwala onunkhira bwino omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga utoto, zomatira, ndi zomatira. Ndiwonso gawo lalikulu la viniga, ngakhale kuti kuchuluka kwake ndi pafupifupi 4–8% yokha.
Malinga ndi zikalata zomwe zili patsamba la LyondellBasell, imapanga mitundu iwiri ya glacial acetic acid. Zinthuzi zimafotokozedwa kuti ndi zopanda madzi.
Malinga ndi pepala la chitetezo la kampaniyo, mankhwalawa amatha kuyaka ndipo amatha kupanga nthunzi zophulika kutentha kopitilira madigiri 39 Celsius (madigiri 102 Celsius).
Kukhudzana ndi glacial acetic acid kungayambitse kuyabwa m'maso, pakhungu, mphuno, pakhosi, ndi pakamwa. Bungwe la American Chemistry Council limati kuchuluka kwa mankhwalawa kungayambitse kutentha.
Muyezo wocheperako wokhudzana ndi ngozi womwe wakhazikitsidwa ndi Occupational Safety and Health Administration ndi magawo 10 pa miliyoni (ppm) mkati mwa maola asanu ndi atatu.
Bungwe la Centers for Disease Control and Prevention limalangiza kuti ngati mwakumana ndi kachilomboka, muyenera kupeza mpweya wabwino nthawi yomweyo, kuvula zovala zonse zoipitsidwa, ndikutsuka malo oipitsidwawo ndi madzi ambiri.
