Pemex Chemical Leak in Texas Kills Two

A chemical leak at the Pemex oil refinery in Deer Park, Texas, resulted in the tragic deaths of two workers and injuries to 35 others. The incident occurred on October 10, when hydrogen sulfide gas began seeping into the air around 4:20 PM, prompting shelter-in-place orders for local residents. Emergency response teams confirmed the fatalities and provided medical assistance to the injured, with some remaining hospitalized for observation. Pemex halted operations and is conducting an investigation into the cause of the leak, which has raised concerns due to the company's history of safety incidents. Deer Park officials lifted the shelter-in-place orders after air monitoring indicated no immediate threat to public safety. The local community was reassured that while the odor of hydrogen sulfide may linger, it does not necessarily indicate a danger to residents.
