The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality is investigating the disposal of acid powder that caused concern among Riverton trash workers exposed to the substance last month. Sanjel Corp. disposed of the benzoic acid powder. Workers at a trash baling facility were exposed to a cloud of the material while cleaning out a trash truck. Three or four employees will undergo medical tests. Paul Throckmartin, manager of Riverton's lands division, says he's thankful there wasn't any real problem. Rick Sollars, lawyer with the Fremont County Solid Waste District, says the state's Department of Environmental Quality has alerted the state Attorney General's Office. Vivienne Allen is Sanjel manager of corporate marketing and communication in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She says the company is looking into the situation.
