PANIC
Following Leakage. Of Ammonia
, '
SHANGHAI MISHAP
Deadly ammonia fumes leaking out of a refrigerator plant on the ground floor of the China Egg Producing Co., Whangpoo "Road, Shanghai, last week, trapped ter- rided employees in the two upper stories of the building, and result- ed in no less than 98 injuries. A rescue van, police van, several am- bulances, and fire engines. sped to the factory with their bells and sirens clearing # speedy path through the rush hour traffe, and spent well over an hour Alling am- bulance after ambulance with those overcome by the dangerous fumes.
Sai
A number of people were seen screaming for help from the upper windows, and two turntables were summoned to rescue them.
The accident
caused was through the safety valve and am- monia receiver of the refrigerator plant blowing off, releasing am- monia gas in considerable pres- sure. On the two floors above were working employees engaged in putting together tins to be used as egg containers, and in testing the eggs. The fumes drifted up the main staircase, and the alarm was raised.
GAS MASKS USED
A jumping net was set up to the east of the factory, and aided in the rescue work. Members of the Fire Brigade, in gas masks, assist- ed engineers on the star of the factory in plugging up the leak, and isolating the ammonia re- eelver by means of spraying jets of water around the safety valve.
The incident was the third in two days. No injuries were, how- ever, reported in the first two.in- cidents. The first happened at the Sun Sun department store in Nanking Road...
The second one happened at the cold storage at No. 2 Tengyueh Road, where the valve of an am- monia compressor was blown off. Although excitement was caused in the building, no injuries were reported. The compressor damaged.
