Kebocoran gas ammonia di Manila: Dua pekerja kilang maut, lebih 90 dibawa ke hospital

MANILA:Dua mangsa terkorban manakala 90 lagi mengalami kesesakan nafas susulan kejadian kebocoran gas ammonia yang berlaku di ibu negara Filipina pada Khamis.

Kebocoran gas tersebut turut memaksa ratusan penduduk di kawasan berdekatan berpindah keluar ke tempat lebih selamat.

Dua mangsa yang meninggal dunia merupakan pekerja di kilang TP Marcelo Ice Plant.

Menurut Datuk Bandar Bandar Navotas, seorang pekerja meninggal dunia pada Rabu selepas terdedah kepada gas tersebut, manakala mayat mangsa kedua, iaitu juruelektrik kilang terbabit, ditemui dalam bangunan kilang pada Khamis.

Susulan kejadian itu, lebih 90 penduduk dan pekerja di kawasan Bandar Navotas dikejarkan ke hospital selepas berdepan masalah sesak nafas.

Selain itu, mangsa turut mengadu sakit mata pedih.

Kebocoran gas itu dipercayai berpunca daripada penghawa dingin kilang terbabit.

Kilang itu kini ditutup namun kerja siasatan tertunda akibat tahap ammonia masih tinggi.
