INEOS Styrolution's Sarnia plant in Ontario temporarily closed due to emissions-related health complaints from First Nation, with elevated benzene levels found.

INEOS Styrolution temporarily shut down its Sarnia plant in Ontario, Canada, after receiving complaints from the Aamjiwnaang First Nation about becoming ill due to the plant's emissions. Benzene, a carcinogenic chemical linked to blood issues, was found at high levels in the area. The company promised to resume operation once the mechanical issue is addressed, and Ontario Premier Doug Ford said the Ministry of the Environment is working to measure air quality in the region.
