At least two people are dead and four others injured after an acetic acid leak at the LyondellBasell facility near La Porte in the U.S. state of Texas, local media reported on Tuesday.

The leak was reported at around 7:30 p.m. and has been controlled by responders. Officials said air quality is at a safe level for the community.

"The leak has been isolated, and air monitoring at the facility perimeter indicates no offsite impact. There is no shelter in place or other protective actions being recommended at this time," the Harris County Fire Marshal's Office tweeted.
