| Abstract |
On April 21, 1995, at approximately 7:45 a.m., a violent explosion and fire occurred at the Napp Technologies, Inc. (Napp) specialty chemical plant in Lodi, New Jersey. Five employees of Napp ultimately died (four employees were fatally injured at the site, the fifth employee died several days later due to injuries related to the event). A majority of the facility was destroyed as a result of the fire, and other businesses near the facility were destroyed or significantly damaged. Approximately 300 residents in the area were evacuated from their homes and a school. Additionally, firefighting efforts generated contaminated water that ran off into the streets and nearby Saddle River. The joint chemical accident investigation team (JCAIT) formed by OSHA and EPA determined that the most likely cause of the accident was the inadvertent introduction of water/heat into water-reactive materials (aluminum powder and sodium hydrosulfite) during the mixing operation. |
