A New Albany, IN chemical plant released an orangish cloud of nitrogen oxide, prompting officials to close roads and issue shelter-in-place orders.
Authorities responded about 10:15 a.m. to reports about an "orange plume" in the air near the Blue Grass Chemical Specialties plant in New Albany, said Floyd County Emergency Management Agency spokesman Kent Barrow.
Mayor Jeff Gahan said at 12:30 p.m. the plume had dissipated, affected roads had reopened and the shelter-in-place orders were lifted in the Ohio River city, located just north of Louisville, Kentucky.
