Survivors of Turkey’s massive earthquake last week now face the prospect of acid rain caused by pollution from a large oil refinery fire, according to Turkey’s health minister. A five-day blaze at the nation’s largest oil refinery, caused by the quake, spewed flames and dense smoke into the air until it was finally extinguished on Saturday. The town of Golcuk, hard-hit by the quake, will be evacuated because of the threat of acid rain.
