Derelict Mackenzie mill risks deadly chlorine dioxide cloud
A Mackenzie pulp mill’s three tanks of chlorine dioxide threaten 5,000 residents if ruptured. The chemical, used to bleach pulp, forms a heavy yellow gas deadly at high concentrations, with a past spill at Powell River showing a similar plume toward nearby communities. The province faces choosing how to address the volatile, stationary storage.
