2 dead, 35 others affected after chemical release at PEMEX facility in Texas [View all]
Two people are dead and at least 35 others were affected after a chemical leak involving hydrogen sulfide occurred at a PEMEX facility in Deer Park, officials said on Thursday.
The extent of injuries is unknown due to officials not being able to make entry into the affected unit, officials said.
Deer Park Mayor Jerry Mouton gave reassurance to community members that there was not a chemical leak in the surrounding area, despite the smell of hydrogen sulfide seeping out into the air.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the scene remains preliminary and fluid, but noted the "situation seems contained to the scene, and no threat to the external community."
