An accidental chemical release at a facility in Toledo, Ohio caused glycidyl methacrylate, a toxic industrial coating product, to leak into the air on October 20. Residents described the leak as smelling like plastic and saying it caused headaches, burning eyes and a sore throat. Around 1,000 residents were evacuated, a shelter-in-place order has since been rescinded. One first responder was hospitalized due to the leak, the cause of which is unknown.
