CHEMICAL SPILL ON MILLSDALE RD, ELWOOD -- HAZMAT RESPONSE

    THU FEB 09 2017 ~5:00 AM
    Elwood FPD
    Chemical Spill/Hazmat Response
    22500 Millsdale Rd Elwood, IL

    Chemical spill MCA or monochloroacetic acid (MCA) -- chemical not confirmed.

    Chloroacetic acid easily penetrates skin and mucous membranes and interferes with cellular energy production. Initial dermal exposure to high concentrations (e.g., 80% solution) may not appear very damaging at first, however systemic poisoning may present within hours. Exposure can be fatal if greater than 6% body surface area is exposed to chloroacetic acid.
