Readers discuss chemical emergencies, honey adulturation, and more

I was interested to read the article about the chemical support for emergency responders.

It reminded me of similar support provided by the chemical industry in the UK in the 1980s and 1990s. At that time the Chemical Industries Association set up a scheme called Chemsafe, whereby member companies were encouraged to set up mutual support systems to deal with spillages and accidents involving hazardous materials at manufacturing sites and, more importantly, during storage and transport.
