Otter Creek latex-material release
More than 8,000 gallons of latex finishing material reportedly leaked from Trinseo's Bucks County, Pennsylvania, plant into Otter Creek, a Delaware River tributary. Authorities issued temporary drinking-water warnings affecting communities in the Philadelphia area, and plant operations were temporarily halted. The event also generated public criticism because the supplied reference associates the facility with earlier contamination incidents since 2010 and notes that Trinseo's shares declined after the release.
