JOHOR BAHRU – A chemical leak was detected at a factory in Jalan Pekeliling, Pasir Gudang yesterday evening.

Pasir Gudang Fire and Rescue Station (BBP) operations commander Sarhan Akmal Mohamad said 14 personnel including eight from the Larkin BBP’s Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) Unit along with two fire engines were rushed to the scene after an emergency call was received at 5.21pm.

He said the factory, which also had an Emergency Response Team (ERT), needed Hazmat’s help to close the chemical valve in the factory which was believed to have caused the leak.

“The operations team detected odour pollution at the scene and upon inspection found that there was a leak in the channel valve of the chemical substance known as styrene monomer,” he said in a statement last night.

Sarhan Akmal said the situation was under control and no reports or complaints were received from the public with regard to adverse symptoms from inhaling the chemical.

He also advised the public against making speculations that could threaten public order and cause anxiety among local residents.

Earlier, a number of video recordings on the chemical leak were circulated on WhatsApp. – August 24, 2023
