An industrial plant in
Lleida
has registered an ammonia leak this Sunday afternoon that has forced
the external emergency plan of the Catalan chemical sector (Plaseqcat) of Civil Protection
to activate in the
alert phase
.
A worker in the industry has had respiratory problems and has been treated by the Sistema d'Emergències Mèdiques (SEM), which has discharged him 'in situ', Protecció Civil explained in a statement.
The Bombers of the Generalitat have sent six teams and have accessed the facilities with protective equipment, after receiving the notice at 6:00 pm;
once inside, they
have closed the valves to control the escape
.
The leak has only affected the interior of the enclosure, so it has not been necessary to evacuate the area where the plant is located, on
Camí de Picos
street
.
The alert has been deactivated around 9:45 p.m., once the firefighters have finished ventilating.
