OMAHA- Following a large fire at Omaha chemical plant Nox-Crete, the company filed a concern report with the Nebraska Department of Energy and Environment.
That document says "acids, bases, and solvents in large quantities were involved in the fire, but no details are available yet. The company will provide additional information when it becomes available."
It goes on to say “mineral spirits (liquid), naphtha (liquid) and acid NOS (liquid)" were released. Two of those listed are petroleum, the other, is a caustic acid per the filing.
Douglas County health reports no impact to air quality, but doctors said those who may have breathed in any of that smoke could be at risk.
Doctors advise those to be aware of any odd symptoms in the days to come and to go to the doctor if experiencing anything out of the ordinary. In the scope of the long term, Doctors are still uncertain as to what chemicals were in the fire, what the effects are under heat, and the overall weight of concern.
