Chemical Fire at BioLab in Conyers Releases Chlorine Gas
A fire at the BioLab chemical plant in Conyers, Georgia, has led to a prolonged shelter-in-place order for Rockdale County due to the release of harmful chlorine gas. The fire, which started after a sprinkler malfunctioned and mixed water with a reactive chemical, caused a massive smoke plume visible from miles away and led to the evacuation of approximately 17,000 residents. Although no injuries have been reported, the Environmental Protection Agency confirmed the presence of chlorine in the air. Interstate 20 was temporarily shut down but has since reopened. Officials continue to work on containing the situation, and residents are advised to turn off air conditioning and keep windows and doors shut to minimize exposure.
