A 1-million-gallon sulfuric acid leak at a Texas terminal injured two workers and exposed 44 others, but no major environmental harm occurred.
A sulfuric acid leak at BWC Terminals in Channelview, Texas, released about 1 million gallons from a storage tank early Saturday, triggered by a collapsed catwalk damaging a supply line.
Two workers were hospitalized with respiratory issues and later released; 44 others, including ship crew, were treated on-site for chemical exposure symptoms.
Most of the spill was contained on-site, but an unknown amount entered the Houston Ship Channel.
Emergency teams, including the EPA, Coast Guard, and local agencies, responded, monitoring air quality and water safety.
No shelter-in-place order was issued, the ship channel remains open, and no harm to marine life has been reported.
The cause is under investigation.
