A tanker collision leaves thousands of gallons of gas product leaking into Houston shipping channel
A collision between a massive tanker and two oil barges has resulted in as much as tens of thousands of gallons of a gasoline product leaking into a shipping channel near Houston.
Reformate is an intermediate stage in the production of gasoline and is colorless, flammable and toxic to marine life. "We know the air is coming this way. The flow is coming this way. We are definitely going to monitor everything," Mayor Jeff Wagner, of Pasadena, Texas, told Houston ABC station KTRK.
"It's a light chemical and it floats on the water, which allows it to evaporate," Galveston Bay Foundation CEO Bob Stokes told KTRK."Unlike other chemicals, it doesn't sink to the bottom, but it still poses risks to marine life."
