The Macedonia fire chief described Wednesday’s explosion, which is currently under investigation, as a” tragic industrial accident” . ,
” We know it involves calcium hydroxide”, Ripley said. ” We’re not exactly sure what happened yet”.
According to Fox 8, sodium chloride is a caustic but nonflammable chemistry. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health ( NIOSH) claims that those who come into contact with sodium hydroxide may be at risk. The group’s website says,” It can eliminate the eyes, skin, and internal membranes, and cause temporary hair reduction”.
According to WHIO TV7, Macedonia Mayor Nick Molnar assured reporters that the area’s inhabitants were protected from any possible chemical exposure. “( It ) is completely safe to drink the water and breathe the air”, Molnar stated. So I want to make sure everyone is aware that we are protected at this time.
According to authorities, as of Wednesday afternoon, all three of the victims of the explosion were expected to recover, according to Fox 8.
