JOHOR BARU – The Johor Environment Department (DoE) has reported normal air quality in a residential area in Pasir Gudang and a nearby factory where a chemical spill occurred yesterday.

Its director, Mohd Famey Yusoff, said today that the finding was the result of an air quality inspection conducted by a DoE monitoring team.

“Readings based on air quality monitoring in the area have been normal since yesterday.

“In fact, the chemical spill was not detected in the residential area,” he said when contacted over the leak at the factory in Jalan Pekeliling.

Nevertheless, Famey said, the DoE team is carrying on with the air quality monitoring today.

A styrene monomer leak was detected at the factory at 5.21pm yesterday.

Six personnel from the Pasir Gudang Fire and Rescue Station and eight members of the Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) Special Team from the Larkin Fire and Rescue Station found the leak at a valve.

No one was injured in the incident, said Pasir Gudang Fire and Rescue Station operations commander Sarhan Akmal Mohamad.

He said the situation was under control and there had been no report of anyone suffering from the ill effects of the spill. – August 24, 2023
