TANGERANG - A leak of ammonia gas at a rock ice factory in the Koang Jaya area, Karawaci, Tangerang City also has an impact on plants. There are even some animals around the factory reportedly dead.

Dudi, one of the local residents, admitted that he had just learned that many of the plants around him had died. The leaves in his yard were blackened.

"Looking at dead trees. I knew when I came home. Because the morning was empty, the smell of gas was still pungent," said Dudi when met at his home in Koang Jaya, Karawaxi, Tangerang City, Wednesday, February 7.

Not only that, many animals belonging to their neighbors died as a result of the leakage of ammonia gas from the ice cube factory.

"Animals also died. Many birds died. When the incident happened, the owner left them. Because they panicked with the smell," he said.

He hopes that with this incident, the authorities will close the problem ice cube factory so that a similar incident does not occur.

"We want the ice cube factory to be closed. Because this is very dangerous for health," he said
