as reported 9 a.m. Effingham Daily News online article (April 5)
The Shelby County Emergency Management Agency reports that the anhydrous ammonia leak in Stewardson has been cleared and that residents are free to return to their homes.
"Residents should attempt to air out their homes," the agency said in a text alert.
Earlier, the agency said emergency workers were going door-to-door checking on residents.
97.9 XFM radio reported this morning that the leak occurred around 6 a.m. from a transport vehicle at The Equity plant in Stewardson.
The release caused a cloud of anhydrous to form over the north and west parts of Stewardson, the station reported. One person drove a vehicle into the anhydrous cloud, thinking it was fog, and was taken to HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham for examination, the station noted.
