A report lists all the material released during a six-alarm fire last year at a northern Illinois chemical plant.
The Chemtool plant in Rockton is on the hook for the cleanup.
Monday’s report reveals that more than 15-million pounds of product burned in June 2021.
Rockton is just south of the Wisconsin state line and Beloit.
A majority of the material emitted was carbon dioxide, but water, smoke-particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and several other compounds were also released.
Chemtool’s parent company reported last year that air sampling showed no health risks to the surrounding community.
