Explosion at Mississippi Chemical Plant Triggers Toxic Ammonia Leak

A massive explosion at a chemical plant near Yazoo City, Mississippi, has caused a significant leak of toxic ammonia gas. A white toxic gas cloud several meters high rose from the site, prompting the emergency evacuation of residents within a three-kilometer radius. Some individuals who did not evacuate in time reported symptoms including eye irritation and difficulty breathing. Environmental monitoring indicates ammonia concentrations in the affected area exceeded safety standards by nearly tenfold, posing risks of acute damage to human respiratory systems and skin.
