Chemical plant in Texas is being exploited

A chemical plant near Houston is jumping.

At what time this will happen, Director Richard Rowe could not predict. But if it happens, the reaction will resemble a gasoline fire: explosive and intense. There will be smoke development that may stimulate skin, eyes and lungs, but long-term effects would be limited.

The factory is located in Crosby, 40 kilometers northeast of Houston. Residents in a 2.4 kilometer radius are evacuated. The factory produces organic peroxides that are used in the production of synthetic resin, polystyrene and paint.
