A chemical called toluene diisocyanate which can penetrate the skin and cause poisoning was also being stored at the plant, according to a Chinese doctor who warned people to wear gas masks and cover their bodies.
A lack of answers about vast explosions in the Chinese port of Tianjin Thursday reinforced questions about standards in the country, where campaigners say lives are sacrificed on a lack of respect for safety and poor implementation.
Whatever the case maybe I hope the residents are evacuated in the immediate areas. Apparently hundreds of families have left voluntarily- good for them for not waiting for the Chinese version of FEMA to assist.
Cyanide based chemicals are used in plenty of products. You probably have some in your own home now.
Paints and adhesives, are a good place to start looking. "Super glue"=cyanoacrylic
Given the huge amount of product sold here, that is manufactured in China, the fact they have massive stock piles of nearly everything imaginable, wouldn't surprise me.
We have our own cyanide spill in the USA, the EPA's incompetence in a Colorado mine has poisoned a river/s and will cause decades worth of problems. Not to worry though, the EPA is going house to house getting the Navajo Indians to sign away their rights to future claims. You know, to save the taxpayers a few bucks.
They will have a show trial with the usual suspects of capitalist corruption lock them up for life or execute them then back to business as usual...
I'm waiting for Xi Jinping to blame Uyghur nationalists for terrorist acts under the influence of his political rivals so he can crank up his anti-corruption campaign and start North Korea style executions in Beijing while crushing the Uyghurs.

Even had some idiot drinking that stuff after he put a purification pill in the bottle and said it was safe to drink!
Nothing to see here folks lets move on...right!
I remember the big stink the EPA had with that Freedom chemical spill in West Virginia recently not to drink the water in Charleston. Bottle water was distributed that cost millions of dollars but I guess American Indians are not worthy of federal relief or aid?
F*#k the EPA and Obama and the stolen horse they rode in on!

Nothing like a good crisis to advance your political aims or goals comrade you are correct and I concur!
