I have published the environment agency’s letter to Rick click here to read it
The danger threshold limit value for Cyclohexanone is 20 parts per million, it can be absorbed through the skin, by inhalation or ingested, and we have a spillage involving 100s of tonnes of the stuff, which seems to have been covered up for years.
How on earth could such a large amount missing have gone unnoticed? Because of its nature you theoretically are not allowed to let it evaporate, I would hope that those people who advocate heavy industrial use on the source protection zones will reconsider their positions.
News, Local history and Thanet issues from Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate see www.michaelsbookshop.com I publish over 200 books about the history of this area click here to look at them.

ReplyDeletevice chairman of the Labour Party has described the scandal surrounding illegal donations to the party as a “policy failure” and called for a cap on the amount that individuals can donate.

In answer yes the html you did is an accurate transcript of the EA letter.
ReplyDeleteI just remembered I said I would not comment on the thread you start using the copy of the EA letter. Other than to confirm your copy accurate.
Well done Rick,
ReplyDeleteif i said any more
??????????????
not the first cyclohexanone fire in Thanet perchance just a thought ?
ReplyDelete(Cyclohexanone used in back street drugs manufacture ?)
This could be quite serious I take it.
ReplyDeleteI do try to reply to people’s comments but this thing leaves me pretty much speechless, how any engineering firm could lose 500 tons of a toxic solvent without knowing, is beyond belief.
ReplyDeleteNo one I have asked seems to be able to tell me if the vapour is still coming out of the ground, if you use it in industry and the are more than 20 parts per million in the atmosphere, you have to suit up and use breathing apparatus.
