Mistaken Mix at Tyson Foods Hospitalizes Dozens
Five people injured in the accidental generation of poisonous chlorine gas on Monday at a Tyson Foods Inc. plant in Springdale Arkansas remain in intensive care and dozens are still hospitalized, Donnie King, Tyson Foods senior group vice president of poultry and prepared foods, said at a news briefing Tuesday afternoon.Tyson uses chlorine compounds as part of its food processing. Apparently two chemical compounds were mistakenly mixed in the plant on Monday, resulting in the generation of chlorine gas. Chlorine gas as such is not normally used at the plant. Approximately half the workers in the plant at the time reported symptoms. Posted by: Anguper Hupomosing9418 2011-06-29 |
