Tanker Spills Toxic Chemicals After Rolling Over, Arizona Interstate Shutdown For Hours
A tanker hauling deadly chemicals rolled over on Interstate 10 in Tucson, Arizona.
Reuters reported the tanker was hauling nitric acid which is a toxic chemical used in explosives, fertilizer, and for materials in the polymer industry.
When nitric acid is exposed to humans without PPE, it can cause severe lung damage, pulmonary edema and irritation to the skin and eyes.
Immediately after the tanker rolled over, clouds of nitric acid were seen by motorists on the interstate.
Currently authorities have issued a hazmat alert and a 'shelter in place' warning is in effect for all individuals within a mile radius in Tucson Arizona
