Call a lawyer asap!! I work with those chemicals and we wear special gear so it won’t affect us… we even wear goggles! That mixture can be very toxic… the water system should be looked at as well… honestly I would have packed my bags and leave 😓

dumb comparison. If someone has COVID and is near me sneezing...I'd 100% rather them be wearing a mask. In this case, yeah it wouldn't do much of anything, maybe they feel like it helps with the smell and whatever, if it makes them feel better, why would you be butt hurt about it? But yeah, are you saying you wouldn't mind someone who has COVID just sneeze directly on you?

@mbbb169 2 часа назад

I guess. But think of it like running through a smoke-filled room. You can either go through without any protection or choose to wear a face mask. Most people would likely prefer some level of protection, even if it's minimal. Real question is, why does them wearing a face mast hurt your sensitive little brain so much?

No one wins here: No safety - bad for everyone. No plant - less lucrative jobs. Chemistry makes the world we have. The same process that made ammonia for weapons was used to make fertilizer.

@peterston4039 7 минут назад

My question would be: Why would a company working with water reactive chemicals have water sprinkler systems? That is beyond negligence. The make foam and other systems for exactly such a case. Who inspected and allowed it? And the EPA can test and find but thanks to the GOP is not allowed to speak about what they find.
