A chemical incident occurred at Chimcomplex in Râmnicu Vâlcea, releasing chlorine into the atmosphere. Five employees were hospitalized due to respiratory issues. Authorities issued a RO-Alert for nearby residents, advising them to stay indoors. Approximately 15.5 kg of chlorine was released after a compressor failure, but conditions hindered vapor dispersion. Emergency teams managed the situation, and 260 people were evacuated as a precaution. Measurements indicated chlorine presence outside the facility, but later tests showed safe levels. The company confirmed that the leak was contained and operations were halted.
