A Pfizer manufacturing plant reportedly spilled over 1,000 gallons of a chemical within the process area of its facility.
The City of Kalamazoo said, âPfizer notified them an estimated 1,057 gallons of methylene chloride were released within the process area of the manufacturing facility located on Portage Road,â according to FOX 17 News.Â
As a result, a no-contact advisory along a stretch of the Kalamazoo River was issued Wednesday afternoon.
The discharged colorless liquid was placed into a dedicated drain that runs to the Kalamazoo Water Reclamation Plant for treatment.
Since the plant is designed and permitted to treat a maximum of 291 gallons of methylene chloride per day, city officials warned residents to stay away from the Kalamazoo River.
âHigh concentrations of methylene chloride can be harmful if people were to come in contact with it,â a News Channel 3 report stated.
