At a chemical company in Bubendorf, a barrel of chemical waste exploded on Friday night. One man was slightly injured.
A 21-year-old man was slightly injured in a chemical waste barrel explosion Friday night at a chemical company in Bubendorf BL. A chemical reaction had caused the detonation.
The event was limited to the interior of the building. The Basel canton police wrote in a statement on Saturday that there was never a risk to people or the environment.
The explosion occurred shortly after 8:00 pm inside a separate production wing. In the 200 liter barrel there would be around 40 liters of different chemical residues. This caused a chemical reaction and, later, the explosion of the cannon. The injured 21-year-old was taken to the hospital by paramedics, but was able to leave on Friday night.
