Atlanta braces for haze and chlorine odor from Conyers chemical fire

A chemical fire at a BioLab in Conyers, Georgia, has led to elevated chlorine levels in the air. Officials warn that haze and a chlorine odor may reach Atlanta on Thursday due to shifting winds. The fire, which started on Sunday, has been extinguished, but it prompted shelter-in-place orders for the surrounding area. Air quality monitoring continues, with periodic increases in chlorine expected as cleanup efforts proceed. Residents are advised to limit exposure to the smoke, which can cause respiratory irritation. State and federal agencies are actively monitoring air quality in the region.
