basf-logoCORNWALL, ONTARIO, August 27, 2013 – At approximately  6:00 AM (EDT) today at BASF’s Cornwall facility, a storage tank containing
phthalic anhydride over pressurized, causing a loud noise and release of the  material into the atmosphere above the plant. The quantity of phthalic anhydride  released is not known at this time. Phthalic anhydride is used to manufacture a wide range of materials, including plastics.

There were no injuries. BASF is working closely with the  emergency responders who are on the scene. We will continue to monitor the
situation and more information will be communicated to the local community as it is known. News releases with updated information will also be
distributed.
