MagCorp Magnesium Chloride Plant
|
|
| According to the EPA, on several recent occasions, this magnesium chloride plant has been the nation's worst air polluter. MagCorp has released close to a hundred tons of chlorine per day from its stacks, in a cloud that can be seen from as far away as Nevada, the majority of total chlorine gas emitted into the air nationwide. Magnesium chloride is one of those versatile "in-between" industrial chemicals, like borax. It is used, for example, as a fire retardant in wood, as a dust-inhibitor for dirt roads, as a lubricant for wool, and as a supplement in cattle feed. Owned by the Magnesium Corporation of America (whose CEO, a few years ago, was building what was called "the largest private home in America, on Long Island, NY). |
