Strange day today. In Oxnard California Highway 1 is closed in both directions due to a "noxious smell in the area". Early today New York and New Jersey odorous...hmmm

What's that for folks who didn't so hot in chemistry, any idea? I take it it's nasty.

Ethylenediamine isn't excessively toxic, but it is fairly irritating and stinks to high heaven. Luckily this is a chemical that would degrade rapidly in the environment.

How far does this stuff diffuse? I'm just a few miles up the road from this. Luckily it's not windy. Poor Sugarland!
