Its so unfortunate that another county has satisfactory information out before Rockdale. I live in the evacuated area and I still haven't seen press from the EPA here smh
It is also so unfortunate that we can find more information on this subject than Rockdale. Please read my main comment abotu PPM levels, and INSIST that your county agencies and rescue services have these thigns on-hand immediately. We cannot wait for the EPA to give "updates" that don't even tell us the IMPORTANT STUFF that we need to know.
@@Enjoyer.762 I "voted for this" ? LMAO if that's not the dumbest, most irrelevant, thing I've heard today!! This is a local issue, I'm a county away and as concerned as thousands of locals. If you are not in GA or around Rockdale, please do yourself a favor and STFU.

@@olivesama This company has had multiple fires and chemical releases into the environment. Why hasn't the local district done anything to hold this company accountable? If this was a district under Republican control, I bet you would want to hold leaders accountable. Why do you have double standards based on your politics?
@@Enjoyer.762 You don't know anything about MY politics. In any case, these sorts of incidents happen in various parts of the country. There is no evidence that voting for any party in particular is what absolutely keeps them from happening. Holding leaders "accountable" (whatever that means to you) is good advice for any time and place...
@@olivesama This has been a democrat ran district for years and for years the company has had chemical releases. The district leaders aren't holding this company responsible and you want to deny that these politicians aren't partially responsible? Isn't it the job of elected officials to serve the interests of the community? Why haven't leaders cited them for fire code and environment violations? Why hasn't the district sued the company for damages and to recoup the cost of emergency services? Are you aware the local hospital had to be evacuated because of this chemical release? Why are you ok with this? You're a Democrat and partisan so your ok with this and your attempting to excuse it. You can admit that you're not a good person.
I’m curious why this isn’t mainstream ? Is it just not a big deal ? Hopefully everyone knows they won’t tell us if it’s dangerous or even what is actually happening
Not alot of technical trade knowledge being displayed here. No ppms no gas density info or properties about if it is heavier than air or how to protect yourself with what you have possibly at your own disposal How to decontaminate your areas or yourself. Ya know technical shit.
The less technical words used the less dangerous this will sound to the public. Also use a very sweet soft voice and just wear whatever T-shirt you woke up in.
@@walkfasterUA-cam needs to implement a reason/response/appeal system that’s in-app, something akin to what Meta uses for its “moderation” and violation detection.

Don’t trust the EPA when it comes to your health. Get out of there immediately! Stay at hotels if you have too. File lawsuit for all reimbursements. Don’t risk your life because there’s a high risk for long-term issues.
I got an alert on my phone about this. I'm in Stone Mountain. So far I haven't smelled anything, but I sure hope that they can clean this toxic stuff from the air before people suffer any damage. Hydrochloric aid is not good to be breathing! Also, if this plant has had multiple incidents, then action needs to be taken to regulate it or shut it down. Is this company paying somebody off to look the other way?
What about chemicals up in the atmosphere? What happens when chlorine and hydrochloric acid are heated by a chemical fire? What happens when it rains?!?!
EPA - always protecting the big donnor political Industries. What kind of air quality counter takes two days to assemble and put it to do sampling work? Where is the Public Safety Commitment ? What kind of toxic products went into the air and in what concentration, what are the health hazards; short and long term .It is time for the government to removed all these federal "servants " from office and hold them accountable for their innaction. There are several thousands of responsible and committed Environmental Scientists out there without a job. Hire them.

They do not care lol the citizens were still walking around outside after getting multiple alerts to their phone and going about their regular business as if nothing was happening. People were driving with their windows down and wearing masks as if they’re ventilators. 😂
Pool treatment chemicals release chlorine upon contact with water. That reaction is exothermic, meaning it produces heat. If There's a lot of water, a little heat is okay. But in a warehouse full of chemicals, that heat can start a massive fire.
This Also Happened In May 2004 And Affected Nearby Lake (VFW Lake) When Are These Companies Gonna Be Held Accountable? And Why Are Water Reactive Chemicals Being Stored In A Place With Water Sprinklers!? Completely Ignorant It's Not Air Quality You Should Worry It Is Water Contamination
In simple words they don't know what the impact on your health is! Stay safe and leave the compromised area!

This biolab has to go
Too bad the chemicals released will probably be with us for the rest of our lifetime.
Shut up
WHY DO WE NEED A BIO LAB NEAR A POPULATION CENTER--WHERE HAS COMMON SENSE MIGRATED TO
1st rule , don't believe a single word from a government official.
How'd that work out for the people in the hurricane 🤦♂️
3rd fire at this this place in the last 7 years. Ridiculous

Then why did it smell like chlorine in Gwinnett all morning?
Yes! Smelled chlorine this morning in Lawrenceville. It was very hazy/smoggy/smoky
Yeah I did see thick fog or smog this morning
Same here in Winder. There was fog and it smelled like chlorine.
These ppl are all scared!! Look at em.
The exact chemical is TCCA, sometimes sold as Tri-Chlor. It's a pool chlorine treatment product.

@@veronikalynn5084UA-cam has literally masked this from the mainstream , I had to actually search for it after a friend saw it on tik tok
This was done on purpose..
I'm in Dekalb County and the scent is extremely strong..chlorine
lawyer: why did the phone not issue an emergency until 24 hours after the explosion? an amber alert goes out in 10 minutes. This took 24 hours.
It issued it almost immediately and multiple times a day. But it was massive and burned all day. I said they’d down play it

That's more than just chlorine. Liars!!! No mention from the EPA about the air quality?
Our "News" reminds me of the Soviet Union during the Chernobyl disaster.

How about Walton County? I'm hearing nothing about our county, but we've had irritants in the air causing burning eyes and headaches.
Not only did it smell, if you have sensitive skin….it burns and stings your skin.
Camp Creek could smell the chemicals in the air at 8 PM EST. That means it traveled 45 miles, which means Spalding, Fulton,
The look on the people's faces next to him is like OMG
Such propaganda bs.

Yet your catalytic converter better be to code.
F the EPA!!
NO EMERGENCY WAS SENT UNTIL 09/30/2024
Nothing to see here.Just normal orange and red clouds.Breath normal and pay your taxes.lol
This guy is a beast!
why was the state of GA not issued an emergency until 24 hours after the explosion?
His voice got high pitched when he said “We’re not seeing any of those levels yet” Are you joking?Theres a cloud of the poison miles long. It doesn’t just float in to space
I see you EPA you're doing that scruffy, handsome thing. I bet he's a good listener.
lol
What?😅
This guys lack of confidence is scary.
I know someone works in Loganville outside today, he’s home sick. Headache, eyes burning, sore throat.
You see the smoke from the explosion from Jackson Hartfield.
The whole city or all the people thatgot evacuated needs to protest to remove that cam lab out of it's Town, all chem labs need to be relocated to a dessert out in Arizona somewhere less population

District, so most of their constituents are not super mentally functional lol
Covering. Don't be around it. Get out
This company is facing less fines than I would if I don’t get emissions on my truck
Now imagine in P2025 guts EPA... all those people would just have to wait it out and then get cancer 10 years down the road.
EPA hasn't been doing a good job in years. Funny you think next year is going to make a difference.
It doesn’t just go away.
So it’s still being released?
Exactly how did water and chlorine cause a fire?
Pool treatment chemicals release chlorine upon contact with water. That reaction is exothermic, meaning it produces heat. If There's a lot of water, a little heat is okay. But in a warehouse full of chemicals, that heat can start a massive fire.
North Carolina gets the fallout
the news got there before Amber Alert.
I could smell it in Fulton at 8 PM EST
This is an intelligent reasonible man unlike the vast majority of the other commentators blathering on the news.
The sky is full of haze
3 times in 7 yrs yet it remains
How is this guy gonna wear a mask to protect his lungs with a beard like that
There's helmets attached to air filters not just masks
Lawyer.
Move. What were they testing on in that lab?
They manufactured BioGuard, a pool chlorination product.
Goon squad liars...smh.
