Strong odour coming from Burnaby refinery carried no health risks: fire chief
An “industrial incident” at an oil refinery in Burnaby that blanketed parts of Metro Vancouver with a strong chemical smell on Sunday didn’t pose any risks to the public, according to the Burnaby Fire Department.
You're viewing a single thread.
And .. what was the chemical-profile of this smell, that .. doesn't need to be tested, .. to know that it doesn't contain health-risks??
Neither ideology nor prejudice substitutes validly for scientific-method.
Don't accept bullshit/propaganda in science's place.

“It’s not anything that we would find as highly toxic or any kind of chemical waste, it’s actually a hydrocarbon product,” he said.
Probably some petrochemical gas like diesel, or some burnt oil product. Would be helpful if they tested it still, even if it wasn't that serious.
