Indian Oil Corporation — Leaking LPG from bottling plant in Trivenipuram ,Jhunsi

Address:211019

Sir, I am a resident of Trivenipuram, Jhunsi Allahabad.There is an Indane LPG bottling plant of Indian Oil Corporation in this locality. Everyday in the evening there is a leakage of gases which cause a pungent and desagreeable smell in the vicinity of the plant.Not only these gases are irritable The presence of this plant in a residential area such as Trivenipuram is a cause of great concern from public health point of view. Upon researching on the internet I found that the smell is due to the presence of Ethyl Mercaptan whic is a hazardous substance and can cause muscular weakness, convulsions, respiratory paralysis. High concentrations may cause pulmonary irritation, irritations in eyes and skin. Ingestion causes nausea and irritation of mouth and stomach. (USCG, 1999) Upon exposure to LPG inhalation the adverse health effects such as mentioned below: The short term effects include: Euphoria - feeling happy, elated Dizziness, giddiness, light headed Hallucinations Muscle weakness Nausea, chills General numbness Disassociation Lack of coordination Central nervous system depression - may cause breathing difficulties and/or heart failure. long term affects: Brain and nerve damage, seizures, tremor, brain hemorrhage, impaired memory, mood swings, depression, inability to think clearly/logically Cardiovascular effects such as malformed blood cells, heart damage, irregular and/or depressed heart rate, high blood pressure, Lungs may be damaged Acute and chronic liver and kidney inflammation which may permanently damage both organs if prolonged Reduced red and white blood cells, depressed immune function, increase in infections I therefore, on behalf of the residents of Trivenipuram Allahabad I request you to take necessary action for safeguarding public health.
