"The fire at a major oil refinery in the Victorian city of Geelong has now
reportedly been extinguished. But with thick smoke from the blaze lingering in
the air on Thursday, many residents in Geelong and surrounding areas will
understandably be worried.
What is released into the air when a refinery burns? And is the smoke bad for
your health?
For most people, serious long-term health effects are unlikely. However, there
can be short-term risks, and some groups are more vulnerable than others. So
here’s what to look out for and how to stay safe."
