Toxic Chemical-Exposed Cat Prompts Japanese City Alert
A cat fell into a tank of toxic chemicals at a plating factory in Fukuyama, Japan, and then escaped, prompting the city to issue a public alert and warn residents about the potential hazards. The tank holds hexavalent chromium, a chemical known to cause health issues in humans, and officials have urged people to be cautious if they come across the cat. The factory will take measures to prevent similar incidents, but as of now, the cat has not been found and may not have survived its exposure to the chemicals.
