According to US media reports on October 21, a chemical storage tank in Toledo, Ohio, USA broke down on the evening of the 20th, and toxic gas leaked. As a result, nearly 1,000 residents were forced to evacuate, and more than 50,000 people were required to take refuge indoors. Due to toxic methacrylic acid glycidyl gas leaking into the air, at least 35 people were treated at the hospital for eye or throat burning, etc., and local schools were closed. Toledo Mayor Wade Kapshukevich said at a press conference held on the 21st that a 5,500 gallon storage tank leaked due to a transfer mistake. Currently, we can only wait for the chemicals to be naturally discharged from the storage tank due to fears that stopping the leak may cause an explosion.
