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.
