A slurry containing battery materials and a hazardous solvent leaked over the weekend, but Ultium Cells said no employees were exposed or injured in the spill.
and LG Energy Solution, said in a statement on August 21 that no employees were exposed or injured in the spill. The company added that area mixing operations have been temporarily halted and that a third-party company helped clean up and contain the leak. that operations will remain paused until the area"has been inspected for damage and deemed safe." It remains to be seen how the stoppage will impactThe company reported the incident to OSHA, which opened an investigation.
Despite that, there is no federal permissible exposure limit for the chemical under OSHA. NMP is particularly harmful for reproduction as short-term exposure can cause fetal loss and long-term exposure can reduce overall fertility in both men and women. The EPA says NMP is risky in nearly every stage of use, from import and processing to commercial and consumer use and disposal. The substance can also impact the nervous system and cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness in the short term. In the long term, it has more significant impacts, such as difficulty concentrating, memory loss, depression, anxiety, and irritability.
