When I did summer jobs in plants, while in college, I’d always get a whif of what smelled like Chlorine to me. It was stronger in certain areas, like the tank farm. Don’t know if that’s a bad thing or not, to always smell that, and working in a plant 5 days a week.

Holy shite.
ETA: Hard to tell how close your buddy is to the plant but that looks pretty far away, meaning that’s a fricking MAJOR chlorine release.

Doesn't chlorine stay closer to the ground?
Haven't dealt with it in 20+ years.

This should put a damper on all of those potential bridge crossings anywhere south of DOW.

Yeah it’s heavier than air.

It is also highly cancerous if you breath that in. Not an ideal situation at all.

That is a huge amount of chlorine. Y’all be safe
Posted on 4/18/22 at 9:45 pm to OysterPoBoy
It’ll take your breath away if it’s concentrated enough.

This happens every few years. Nothingburger

Best take off those 2091 filters and put on 60922 catridges instead baw.

I’m pretty sure that’s SCBA territory judging by the picture.

I agree but thats an incredible amount. One of my good friends dad is a high level Chem E with Dow, he says that this aint a joke

Dow plant in Plaquemine
According to the OT posters in the thread about iron dust from Almatis, those people shouldn’t have moved in there
