Déversement d'acide sulfurique à Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures
Le Service de protection contre l'incendie de Québec a été alerté à la suite d'un déversement provenant d'un wagon de train à l'usine CHEMCO inc., dans le parc industriel.
Tôt vers 7h10, un employé de l'usine a demandé de l'aide au 9-1-1 en indiquant le déversement d'acide sulfurique d'un wagon de train à l'extérieur, non loin de la rue de Hambourg.
La fuite a toutefois été arrêtée par la fermeture d'une valve.
Chemco est une entreprise familiale québécoise œuvrant dans les secteurs environnementaux et industriels spécialisés.
Une vingtaine de pompiers incluant ceux du groupe d'intervention en matières dangereuses ont nettoyé le site.
Le déversement est évalué à environ 800 gallons d'acide sulfurique.
Une fois sur les lieux, les pompiers ont érigé un périmètre de sécurité et déployé des jets de protection.
Ils ont aussi procédé à l'obstruction d'une bouche d'égout à proximité et neutralisé le produit déversé avant sa récupération avec de l'absorbant.
Aucune évacuation de bâtiment n'a été nécessaire et personne n'a été blessé ou incommodé par le déversement.
Les sapeurs ont quitté les lieux en début d'après-midi, après quelques heures sur place.

Texas AG Paxton files suit accusing Eli Lilly of illegal kickbacks
WASHINGTON, D.C.: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against U.S. pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly, alleging the company engaged in an illegal scheme to pay kickbacks to healthcare providers to encourage prescriptions of its most profitable medications. According to Paxton's office, the alleged scheme targeted drugs such as Mounjaro and Zepbound, GLP-1 medications used to treat diabetes and aid weight loss, with financial inducements designed to sway medical decision-making in the company's favor. "Big Pharma compromised medical decision-making by engaging in an illegal kickback scheme," Paxton said in a statement, adding that the case builds on previous efforts to hold drugmakers accountable for fraud and abuse. The lawsuit follows earlier legal action by Paxton's office against insulin manufacturers, including Lilly, and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). That case claimed manufacturers inflated insulin prices and then funneled a significant, undisclosed share back to PBMs in exchange for preferential placement on drug formularies. Eli Lilly denied wrongdoing, saying the new claims come from the same corporate whistleblower whose allegations have been dismissed by multiple courts and rejected by the federal government. "We intend to vigorously defend against these allegations," a company spokesperson said, citing prior rulings that found the accusations lacked factual and legal merit.
