A pyralene leak occurred around 5:30 pm on two transformers (oil, PCB) in an old spinning mill. Out of a total of 1,200 litres, 400 litres had overflowed into a holding tank and 50 litres spread into the soil. The emergency services set up a safety perimeter and carried out an investigation of the stormwater drainage system. A specialised company recovered the 3,600 litres of product (water, pyralene and oil) and flushed out 20 m of polluted pipe. 60 to 80 m² of land was contaminated by infiltration and required further intervention by specialised staff.
