And the people who live close to the scene of the events were also asked to keep their homes closed so that they are not exposed to the strong fumes caused by the fire, as it contains polypropylene; therefore, they must be at home until further notice.
In addition to this, air evaluations are made both in the plant and in its surroundings, to prevent any health risk for the people of the place.
