CHILGOK, North Gyeongsang Province -- Some 5,000 liters of sulfuric acid leaked Tuesday at a chemical waste treatment plant in South Korea but no injuries were reported, firefighters and company officials said.
The leakage happened at around 6 p.m. at a chemical waste storage tank of F-One Chemical in Chilgok, a town in North Gyeongsang Province, they said. The leakage took place right after roughly 20,000 liters of waste acid was injected into the tank.
