The warning was issued after the Arkema plant at Crosby, Texas, lost refrigeration of chemical compounds due to the impact of Hurricane Harvey.
The company said the chemical compounds need to be kept cool and there is no way to prevent a fire, with the breakdown of the refrigeration system.
The facility manufactures organic peroxides, and chemicals stored on site can become dangerous at higher temperatures.
Meanwhile; the death toll from Hurricane Harvey now stands at thirty-three, as the now downgraded tropical depression continues to lash heavy rainfall over eastern Texas and western Louisiana, after a second landfall.
