Ezeiza Industrial Blast: Forensic Probe Centers on Logischem’s Hazardous Stock as Relief Plan Takes Shape

With the origin traced to Logischem’s chemical depot, the next phase focuses on contamination tests and regulatory compliance.

Overview

  • Prosecutor Florencia Belloc’s team opened on‑site forensic work after access delays from lingering hotspots, with no individuals charged so far.
  • Specialists reported phosphorus and other reactive chemicals at the origin site and are testing residues, air quality and the path of firefighting runoff for possible contamination.
  • The fire that began at Logischem spread to destroy or damage multiple firms, including Iron Mountain and Plásticos Lago, and hit Larroca Minera, Aditivos Alimentarios and Almacén de Frío.
  • Provincial health officials reported 24 injured, while about 70 fire units and roughly 380 firefighters contained the blaze, which still has isolated smoldering areas.
  • Ezeiza leaders met Banco Provincia and the provincial production ministry on tax breaks and credit lines, and the municipality pledged temporary local tax waivers as employers seek to retain workers.
