The Sandoz Chemical Spill.

In the same year as Chernobyl In November 1986 a fire at the  Sandoz agrochemical storehouse in the Schweizerhalle industrial complex, Basel-Landschaft, Switzerland, would show the risks of poor storage of chemicals, in a building not originally designed for this purpose. 

The incident would also show the side effects of such a fire as the water used to fight it would mix with the chemicals stored and run off into the Rhine and contaminate the nearby soil. 

I’m uploading weekly in the lead up to Christmas enjoy!
