Spilling bottles with pesticides from Shizuoka factory Typhoon 19 storm surge effect October 17th 19:30
J-Oil Mills, a major edible oil manufacturer, announced that three aluminum bottles containing aluminum phosphide used as a pesticide were leaked from a factory in Shizuoka City due to the storm surge caused by Typhoon # 19.
The aluminum phosphide used as a pesticide leaked from the Shizuoka Plant of J-Oil Mills in Shimizu, Shizuoka City.
According to the company, this factory was inundated by the storm surge caused by Typhoon No. 19, and the storage door that had stored the pesticides on the 14th of this month when the typhoon passed was broken, containing 1 kg of granular pesticide. The staff found that the four aluminum bottles were gone.
One of these was found on the factory grounds, and the remaining three were still being searched.
Aluminum phosphide is designated as a poison and is used in gaseous form to prevent the generation of pests when storing grain.
According to the company, bottles containing pesticides are sturdy and need special tools to open them, so the contents are unlikely to leak out, but pesticides can be put directly into the mouth or moisture in the air If you inhale a large amount of gas generated by reaction, there is a risk of death.
For this reason, if you find a bottle, we call you to contact the nearest police or company without touching it.
"J-Oil Mills" commented, "I apologize deeply for your concern and inconvenience."
