    <dc:creator>dchas</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[BENGALURU:  The deadly chemical that caused an explosion at MLA Munirathna’s house, claiming the life of 45-year-old Venkatesh, in Vyalikaval on Sunday morning, is suspected to be Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP), a highly explosive chemical. Experts told TNIE that MEKP is not only toxic but highly inflammable too. Its ignition temperature at highly concentrated levels is known to be as low as 22.50 Celsius.

The chemical is dangerous for anyone in its vicinity, especially in case of spills, which is what happened when Venkatesh kept the can containing the chemical on the floor. The chemical is also known to have an adverse effect on people’s health. It can cause birth defects, fainting and even death. Experts said hobbyists use a 30-60 per cent diluted version of the chemical to cross-link unsaturated polyester resins in fibreglass and casting.

Speaking to The New Indian Express, a senior police officer said, “One of the colourful peacock statues atop an electric pole at the MLA’s residence was made using MEKP as it helps bend fibre statues. FSL officials have said the content inside the can had solidified. When Venkatesh tried to open it, it caused the blast. The Vyalikaval police are investigating the case booked under the Explosive Substances Act.”

Police established a 300-metre exclusion zone and evacuated 100 people after a 1000-litre drum of methyl ethyl ketone cracked at a warehouse in Tomago about 1.45pm (AEST) on Thursday.

Power was switched off in the neighbouring area, streets were closed and all ignition sources were removed as hazmat officers in fully encapsulated suits inspected the site and began the cleanup job.

Six Fire and Rescue NSW crews worked to contain the spill and the area was deemed safe by Thursday evening, Superintendent Paul Bailey told AAP.

    <dc:creator>dchas</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[A small chemical fire inside a Wise Alloys plant injured four people Tuesday afternoon.

Sandra Scarbrough, senior vice president for human resources at Wise Alloys, said the fire was in the coating line area of the plant.

“We had four people, who were contract workers and not Wise employees, doing routine maintenance in the coating line area,” Scarbrough said. “All four were injured.”

Emergency crews at the scene said three of the workers were taken to Helen Keller Hospital in Sheffield, where they were being treated for minor burns. A fourth worker was flown to UAB Hospital’s burn center.

Officials said the man flown to UAB could have sustained inhalation injuries. Medical personnel at the scene said the man was talking and conscious before the flight to Birmingham.

The accident was reported at 1:54 p.m. to Colbert 911.

The Muscle Shoals Fire Department was called to Wise, along with Keller EMS and the Colbert Emergency Management Agency.

The Colbert County Hazmat unit was not called into action, officials said.

EMA officials said the fire involved the chemical MEK (methyl ethyl keytone), which is basically paint thinner.

“Apparently it was a quick flash fire that could have come from a spark that hit the chemical,” Muscle Shoals Fire Marshal Donald Ray Coons said.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>dchas</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Tragedy is often the impetus for change. 

By many accounts, the death of four Norwich firefighters during an explosion in 1962 had ripple effects that reverberated across the country —  leading to improved safety standards for first responders and major changes in the way hazardous materials are labeled, shipped and handled.

Today, vehicles carrying hazardous materials are required by federal law to have placards  — color-coded, diamond-shaped signs with numbers and symbols. In the event of an emergency, such as a fire, first responders need only consult a guidebook for general information about just how dangerous any cargo is.

 There was no such law in place on the afternoon of April 3, 1962, when Norwich firefighters responded to reports of a truck fire at the Van Tassel warehouse on Forest Street.

“This is the Van Tassel Leather Co. on Forest St. We have a truck on fire, loaded with explosives,” was the call to the fire department.

Thomas LaFreniere, 83, who was seriously injured in the explosion that was to come, said firefighters knew there were explosives on board, but not much else.

“The dispatcher said, ‘Be careful,’ ” LaFreniere said. “But our job is to extinguish the fire. When they’re running out, we’re running in.”

The subsequent explosion leveled parts of the warehouse and shattered glass windows for miles — and claimed the lives of four of the firefighters at the scene. There was an immediate outcry at the local and state levels for better regulations from the city and state after the investigation into the cause.

Norwich Fire Marshal Kenneth Scandariato said that in the 1960s, there were certain chemicals known to be volatile, but the type of response needed in a situation like Van Tassel was not well-understood.
“They were being classified from a compositional perspective, but not for safety,” Scandariato said. “There were very few training bulletins — procedures for fire departments to prepare for hazardous materials response.

“We didn’t have the equipment, the training or the organization we have today,”  he said. “Many of those things came from the Van Tassel tragedy and other incidents that began to raise attention and alarm.”

Major Carroll E. Shaw, the deputy state fire marshal in 1962, reported the load carried by the truck in question was organic peroxides —  a mix of benzoyl peroxide, methyl ethyl ketone peroxide and others shipped in wet and dry forms.

Shaw wrote that the load, was “extremely sensitive to shock, blows and impact,” and likely shifted during the 600-mile trip to Norwich from Buffalo, N.Y.

Ferndale firefighters responded to an odor complaint around 10 a.m. Monday at 1360 Hilton. It was discovered that a business there – Fermical, which specializes in the pharmaceutical industry and had been temporarily closed for about a year – had a leak in one of the chemical tubs it was storing there.

The chemicals – including ethyl acetate and methyl ethyl ketone – were being stored in 55-gallon drums that had suffered water damage and had begun to rust, causing a leak in one of the tubs, Sullivan said.

"When we got in the odor was at what we call lower explosive limit," Sullivan said. "With the right ignition source it could have blown into kingdom come."]]></description>

The two victims were identified as Venkata Lakshmi, 45, and Kalpana, 30, of Venkatapuram Colony, who were working at Nagamani Chemicals owned by B Nanda Gopal from Bapu Nagar in Amberpet. The incident took place at 11.30am when the two workers were mixing hydrogen peroxide, methyl ethyl ketone and sodium sulphate to produce a chemical substance used in the manufacturing of asbestos sheet moulds and coolants. The high intensity of the explosion damaged a portion of the chemical unit's roof and severely injured both Venkata Lakshmi and Kalpana. 

"With critical burn injuries, Venkata Lakshmi died on the spot and Kalpana succumbed to injuries while undergoing treatment at a nearby private hospital," Amberpet inspector A Srinivas said. 

Police said that the chemical unit was an illegal one. Nanda Gopal, the owner of the unit, has been arrested and cases have been booked against him under section 304-A (Causing death due to rash or negligent act) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).]]></description>
