MAN FOUND DEAD IN ICE PLANT – Another person was reported dead due to the recent ammonia leak inside an ice plant in Navotas City.
According to reports, the body of the second fatality was found within the ice plant itself. Authorities recovered the body on Thursday morning. Furthermore, the man was identified to be an electrician working for T.P. Marcelo Ice Plant and Cold Storage.
With this, the number of deaths due to the ammonia leak has risen to two. Meanwhile, around 60 residents near the area were sent to the hospital with 20 under critical supervision.
Based on an article from ABS-CBN, Navotas City Mayor Toby Tiangco emphasized that the ice plant must pay for the bills of the victims and the hospitalization of those who died.
Yung hospital bill atsaka burial cost ay dapat sagutin ng kompanya because ang aksidente ay nanggaling po sa kompanya…
In this case I will not allow the city government to spend a single centavo, so lahat ng nagastos ng city government d’yan kailangan bayaran ng kompanya out of delicadeza kasi nga kamag-anak ko ‘yun
Ammonia is extremely dangerous for humans as it is highly irritating and corrosive. Exposure to high amounts of it in the air may cause immediate burning in your nose, throat, and respiratory tract. Furthermore, it could possibly lead to airway destruction, respiratory issues, and ultimately, death.
