Hydrogen Sulfide Leak at Pemex Facility Kills Two

A hydrogen sulfide leak at the Pemex facility in Deer Park, a suburb of Houston, resulted in the deaths of two individuals and injuries to over 30 others on Thursday. The leak was reported at 4:40 p.m. during maintenance work, prompting authorities to issue a shelter-in-place order for nearby residents, which was later lifted after air quality assessments showed no hazardous pollutants offsite. Emergency services responded promptly, with one injured person airlifted to a hospital. Pemex confirmed that the incident was contained to their site and isolated from the community. The facility is located in a region known for its concentration of petrochemical plants, raising concerns about industrial safety. Investigations into the incident are ongoing, with local officials monitoring the situation closely.
