South Korea’s Silicon Valley declared ‘disaster zone’ after chemical leak — RT: South Korea declared an area southeast of the capital Seoul a ‘special disaster’ zone after a toxic chemical leak in late September. Around 3,000 people sought medical aid after the incident, and many criticized the government for its slow response.
�The prime minister’s office said in a statement that “the government decided to designate the area affected by the leak of hydrofluoric acid as a special disaster zone.”
About eight tons of hydrofluoric acid escaped from a facility owned by chemical manufacturer Hube Globe following an explosion that killed five workers and injured 18 others. Exposure to the acid can cause damage to lungs and bones and affect the nervous system.
