Now they’re saying the air is fine and that residents can return home?
New York Times reports:
Orders to evacuate and shelter-in-place were lifted in Rockdale County, Ga. on Monday night after authorities deemed the environment safe after a chemical plant fire broke out Sunday morning.
The Environmental Protection Agency, which is monitoring the air for chlorine or hydrochloric acid, said the latest readings found the air quality to be safe for residents to go back. The Rockdale County Water Resources also found the water was safe.
The billowing plume from a chemical plant in Conyers, Ga. about 30 miles east of Atlanta, that officials said contained chlorine, reached parts of Atlanta on Monday, though officials said that it posed no serious safety issues to the city.
While the fire was producing smells, the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department said in a statement that there were “no immediate life safety issues” for the city. Atlanta-Fulton County Emergency Management said weather conditions tonight could bring back haze, but expect it to clear in the morning on Tuesday.
The agency added that residents may smell a chlorine odor that is “unlikely to cause harm to most people.” It advised people who were concerned about respiratory issues to stay inside, close windows and doors and turn off heating and cooling systems.
The county facilities and businesses can return to normal starting Tuesday.
There’s another fire at a pool chemical company in Conyers, Georgia at BioLabs.
Last week, there was one in Frisco, Texas.
