Second Daikin-America employee dies from chemical exposure
Chemical that killed two workers and hospitalised a third at a US fluorochemicals plant remains unidentified
A second worker has died, three months after a chemical exposure incident at Daikin-America in Decatur, US. 33-year-old Will Delashaw died in late September, after being hospitalised with severe lung injuries since his exposure on 2 July.
His death follows that of 20-year-old Wesley Rusk, who was injured in the same incident and died in August. A third worker fell ill, but was later released from hospital. All three were wearing personal protective equipment and respirators.
