Federal investigators previously raised alarm about BioLab chemicals
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (subscription required): Victor Flatt, the Coleman P. Burke Chair in Environmental Law and associate director of the Burke Center for Environmental Law, criticized the Environmental Protection Agency’s failure to regulate BioLab’s reactive chemicals under stricter rules, arguing that better regulation could have helped prevent the Conyers fire and improved emergency response. He emphasized the importance of clear plans to mitigate harm rapidly, which were lacking in the existing system.
