A chemical industry expert tells Current Time that fertilizer stored in the open at a major Ukrainian port this summer posed a dangerous fire risk. Authorities in Yuzhne, 50 kilometers from Odesa, say the ammonium nitrate, which has been blamed for the recent catastrophic explosion in the Lebanese port of Beirut, was stored in accordance with local regulations and posed no risk. It has since been removed.
