Burning of skin and lungs if inhaled too much. It shouldn’t do any severe damage for people driving over the bridge but I’ve also never seen a decomp this large.

My ol baw is the plant manager. I’m guessing he’s going to take some heat

If it happened during a normal day, yeah. But not as the result of a natural disaster.

Its chlorine. Definitely don't want it to come in contact with your eyes, throat, and lungs. Can cause tissue damage.

Has it been confirmed this is BioLab and not Westlake or PPG?

Just hoping the plant isn’t damaged so badly that people don’t have jobs to go back to.

Yes it’s at Biolab, 100%
Bad thing is it’s nearly impossible to put out, per my friend

Had to fix that for you, I happen to know what chlorine does.

Strong oxidizer, so they’ll have to let it burn itself out I’m guessing.

Waiting for updates on where they are at Controlling it and if they even have a possible chance of putting it out.

Thats the fact sheet for TRICHLOROISOCYANURIC ACID. It's believed that the chemical is trichlor, which is 90% chlorine. I'll go get a link for trichlor and edit
apologies if wrong but my googling showed "trichlor" was the short name for what I posted

Arkema in Baytown had decomp of Organic peroxide that combusted after Harvey when power went out and the back up generators for the site flooded, if I am not mistaken.
