>A potentially deadly chemical leak at an industrial park in Texas has prompted a shelter-in-place order for thousands of people. Sirens began blaring at 9:00am local time at the Olin Plant B in Freeport after chlorine gas spewed from the facility. The Lake Jackson Police Department described it as an active Level 3 chlorine release, meaning the gas had moved beyond the immediate area of the plant. Breathing in chlorine gas—even in small amounts—can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat, and may lead to more serious respiratory issues. At higher concentrations, chlorine gas can cause lung injuries, including pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs), and may be fatal.
