Investigation finds site was storing almost double its rated capacity of reactive pool chemicals
A corroded sprinkler system and an excess of improperly stored reactive chemicals contributed to the massive fire and toxic gas release at a Bio-Lab plant in Conyers, US in September 2024. The incident catastrophically damaged the pool chemical manufacturing facility and led to its permanent closure, according to a final report from the US Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) released on 21 July.
