Residents near Kl\u00f8vermarken are still being asked to stay indoors due to corrosive fumes from the leakage. <\/p>\n<p>The tank, containing 4,000 litres of boiling nitric acid, started leaking at six o\u2019clock this morning. This is according to Danish news media Politiken.dk. <\/p>\n<p>The nitric acid is owned by the pharmaceutical company Xellia and used for producing Penicillin, a common form of antibiotics. <\/p>\n<p>Read the University Post main article <a href=\"node\/15481\">Breaking news: Toxic chemical spill on Amager<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Cause unknown<\/h2>\n<p>Why the nitric acid unintentionally began boiling is still unknown to the authorities. Security manager at Xellia, Jesper Sk\u00e6rb\u00e6k tells Politiken.dk that the acid most likely started boiling due to contamination. This may have been because of a leakage in the tank. <\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIt must have been contaminated by something. A chemical reaction must have taken place. This caused the acid to boil\u00ab the security manager tells Politiken.dk. <\/p>\n<p>All employees at the pharmaceutical company on Amager were evacuated immediately. At 06:12 this morning a siren warned residents that a dangerous event had occured. It is still recommended to stay indoors if closely located to Kl\u00f8vermarken. <\/p>\n<p>Anna.M.Gaonkar@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay in the know about news and events happening in Copenhagen by <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">signing up for the University Post\u2019s weekly newsletter here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":44,"name":"Campus","slug":"campus","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":44,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":1547,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11489,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16653"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16653\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35699,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16653\/revisions\/35699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
