Chemical leak injures workers in Turkey
The Mersin International Port in Turkey experienced a chemical spill incident early morning on September 4, 2026, after a heavy machinery overturned onto a container. This resulted in the leakage of a substance believed to be ethyl acrylate and the emission of a strong odor. Disaster management teams "AFAD" and chemical experts measured the hazard levels, and no negative readings were recorded. Precautionary measures included establishing a security zone, isolating the container, and transferring it to a sealed dock. As a result of the incident, 35 individuals who were taken to the hospital were affected; however, their health is in good condition. Port operations were temporarily halted until quarantine procedures and investigations into the type of leaked material are completed.
