Four workers die from chemical leak at Texas DuPont plant with history of repeat violations

2014-11-24 01:03:30| Chemicals - Topix.net

Four people, including two brothers, recently died when a chemical leak at the Texas DuPont Chemical Refinery where they worked led to their inhalation of methyl mercaptan. The chemical, which is used to make insecticide for crops, is noted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as something which can "cause death by respiratory paralysis" since it "is an eye and respiratory tract irritant."
