Ineos black cloud sparks concern in Grangemouth
This picture shows the cloud of fumes seen belching from Ineos’ Grangemouth plant this afternoon, captured by a concerned Falkirk Herald reader.
She questioned whether the volume of pollution shown was normal, and posted a video on social media which clearly shows the extent of the emission.
The fumes have been pouring from two of the plant’s chimneys for at least an hour and a half.
