The EPA found samples of “asbestos-containing” debris that was ejected about a mile-and-a-half from the Richmond recycling plant.
The still-smoldering fire at an Indiana recycling plant that triggered a massive evacuation is spewing carcinogens more than a mile away, officials said Friday.
“Probably the worst thing you can do if you have debris in your yard would be to mow and break up that material” and inhale it, EPA on-scene coordinator Jason Sewell said. The plastic recycling plant caught fire Tuesday afternoon, sending heavy dark plumes of smoke — that experts immediately warned to be “toxic” — billowing through the city of 35,000.
