“Lacethynol store is burning in “Nairit” plant”, former director of the factory, Karen Israyelyan, who was informed about this from the factory, told Aravot.am.
According to Mr. Israyelyan, “This is not particularly dangerous. There was a similar case about ten years ago. The acetylene is burning, which is a chemical substance: it’s the product’s remnant for us. It’s just the smoke that is unpleasant. Carbon monoxide emissions are more dangerous than this smoke”.
