Oct 11, 2024, 01:08 AM
A chemical release at the Pemex refinery in Deer Park, Texas, has resulted in the death of one person and left several others injured. The incident involved a hydrogen sulfide release, prompting the Pasadena Fire Department to issue a shelter-in-place order for all areas north of Spencer Highway within Pasadena city limits. This order was later lifted after air monitoring by Harris County Pollution Control. Authorities are on the scene, and traffic diversions have been implemented on SH-255. The release has caused significant concern among residents and local officials. One person was transported via Lifeflight.
