Reminds me of Minamata, Japanese company was dumping mercury into the nearby lakes and hushing everything up. Movie is great BTW, thank fk I don't live near a chemical plant.
Apple started to clean up only after getting tipped off of an EPA raid. They also didn't test or analyse chemicals. And conveniently stopped having weekly inspections.
Truly a case of ignorance is bliss. Huh, toxic what now? No no it's NOT toxic, we marked it as non hazardous so it's OK.

- s3p 2y agoThis is what's so strange to me. They weren't testing for the presence of hazmats and seemed to not care. This lab clearly isn't a prod lab, likely just research, and maybe that's why they were so comfortable leaving everything where it was. The one thing I found most disgusting, though, was the open tank in the basement. They said the tank would explode if they left it closed, so VOCs must have been venting out. But they left it open in... the basement... without any REAL ventilation. This belongs on r/OSHA.
