Online Edition
AN ammonia leak at a poultry processing plant in the US state of Arkansas sent 25 workers to local hospitals on Wednesday, officials said.
The leak happened Wednesday afternoon at Tyson Foods Chick-n-Quick plant in Rogers, located 340 km northwest of Arkansas' capital city, Little Rock.
The company said in a statement that the leak occurred when contractors were performing maintenance on the facility's roof. A small amount of an ammonia smell was pulled into the plant through the air conditioning system.
Tyson said they evacuated 250 employees who were inside the plant as a precaution. A total of 25 workers who had inhalation injuries were sent to hospitals. As of Wednesday night, 24 of them have been discharged from hospitals.
"We're still gathering details, but initial readings inside the plant indicate that ammonia was not detected in the environment," the statement said.
A local fire department official also said the leak has been contained inside the building and there was no threat to the public.
