Description
The Allegheny County Health Department along with other Agencies are monitoring the situation regarding the explosion at US Steel Clairton Works this morning.
This statement was taken directly from Allegheny County News Advisory
The Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) is actively monitoring the explosion at U.S. Steel Clairton Coke Works in coordination with emergency responders. Out of an abundance of caution, residents within one mile of the plant are advised to remain indoors, close all windows and doors, set HVAC systems to recirculate, and avoid activities that draw in outside air, such as using exhaust fans. ACHD Air Quality monitors have not detected levels of PM2.5 and So2 above federal standards. We will provide additional updates as more information becomes available.
They ask that everyone stay away from the area to allow emergency crews to do their job and to follow future guidance from officials.
Our thoughts go out to the workers, their families and the communities affected by this tragedy.
The Township will do our best to keep residents updated, if we receive any more relevant information.
