摘要

CSB is calling on EPA to review its existing hydrofluoric acid study to determine the effectiveness of existing regulations as well as the viability of utilizing safer alkylation technologies in petroleum refineries. Hydrofluoric acid is commonly used to make refrigerants, herbicides, pharma-ceuticals, high-octane gasoline, aluminum, plastics, electrical components and fluorescent light bulbs. It is also used to etch glass and metal. The acid is used in approximately 50 U.S. refineries, as well as in other industries. In a refinery, it is used as a catalyst in the creation of a blending agent for high-octane gasoline. Exposure to the acid causes burns, pain, erythema and destruction of deep tissue layers including bone.CSB is calling for a review in the wake of the 2018 Husky Energy refinery explosion and fire, which injured 36 workers and led to the evacuation of a large population of Superior,WI. After this and another refinery incident, CSB conducted a public hearing at which members of the surrounding communities expressed concerns about the adequacy of the risk management strategies for the use of hydrofluoric acid and the effectiveness of community notification procedures in the event of a catastrophic release.
