Officials at Chile’s ENAP to face charges over toxic fumes – prosecutor
By Dave Sherwood SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Chilean prosecutors will press charges against six executives of state energy company ENAP in relation to noxious fumes that caused hundreds to seek hospital treatment in 2018, the prosecutors' office confirmed to Reuters on Saturday. The highest profile incident took place in August of last year in the industrial port city of Quintero, where a strong smell in the air caused local residents to complain of nausea, headaches and vomiting. The local prosecutor's office said it would soon press charges against officials from ENAP's refineries and port facilities for violating a Chilean law that protects human health.
