[Local catastrophe and C.A.P.: apropos of 1 plant in Touraine].
Drinking water supply to a 200,000 inhabitant urban area had to be interrupted owing the pollution of the Loire river due to fire in a chemical plant in the vicinity of Tours. This event showed a regretful lack of information diffusion making the role of the Poison Control Center more difficult. Consequences related to acute toxicity were negligible but the evaluation of long-term risk is still pending.
