The importance of containment

An incident is being reported in the US where a storage tank storing Crude MCHM, consisting mostly of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol developed a hole and started leaking. The secondary containment (dykes) also failed and the chemical entered a river which is the main source of drinking water. 
Maintain your primary and secondary containments.....read about the incident in this link.
