Did you know that PQ in Utica is owned by the Koch Brothers, and makes fracking chemicals that are being shipped to Canada and all over the U.S.?
Metso Pentabead is classified as a corrosive hazardous material. Below is a link to material data safety sheets for Metso Penta bead. The first precautionary statement is, ” Do not breathe dust”. Chemical vapor from manufacturing Metso Bead pours out of PQ all night long.
During the day, when residents are awake and tourists are in town, the factory stays fairly quiet with less vapor being released. However, every night between 10pm – 6 am, while residents are asleep and tourists are away, the factory comes to life, and chemical vapor pours out at an astounding rate.
With all that chemical vapor being released into the air every night, it seems impossible for residents to avoid breathing the hazardous chemical vapor, air pollution, and dust coming in through the vents of their homes while they are asleep, and hovers in the air during the day when they are awake.
This video was taken on one of the calmer nights the plant was operating on a warm summer night. The air was warm. This is not a case of warm steam hitting cool air, but is chemical vapor air pollution.
