THE ZOOMER SQUAD:  WILL TORONTO BE CUTTING WINDROW CLEARING SERVICES?   Libby Znaimer is joined by Bill VanGorder, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Policy Officer of CARP, Anthony Quinn, Chief Community Officer of CARP and Quitto Maggi, CEO Mainstreet Research. Loblaw is cutting its discount on food that is about to expire from 50 per cent to 30 per cent. How will this impact older shoppers on a fixed income? And, is the city proposing to cut windrow snow clearing from the 2024 budget? Our panel weighs in.  POLLUTION FROM TRACK REPAIRS HAVE LOCAL TORONTO RESIDENTS FEELING ILL Libby Znaimer is joined by Alex Gill, Resident of the neighbourhood who has been exposed to the construction and styrene fumes and Thomas Tenkate, Director and Associate Professor at the School of Occupational and Public Health at Toronto Metropolitan University.  Residents in the area of Bathurst and St Clair are complaining about construction happening there. They are worried about the foul odours, headaches and nausea which they began to experience  when the work began. We hear from one resident who has been experiencing the situation first-hand and we learn more about a material called Styrene and the impact it can have. The crew working on the project reportedly told them that Styrene was being used. POLITICS IN SPORTS: SOME SPORTS COMPETITIONS DITCH ISRAELI ATHLETES Libby Znaimer is joined by Bob Richardson, Senior Council, National Public Relations.

Robert Proctor, author of the book "Sacrificing Truth: The Deterioration of Scientific Inquiry," joins the show to discuss the state of scientific inquiry on campus today. Stylene, a chemical used in the production of plastic, has been linked to health problems in plants, and guestimates are rampant because of lack of research. Lexman and Robert discuss how this problem arises and what can be done to improve the state of scientific inquiry on campus.

Consultancy XA Global Trade Advisors says billions of rands in revenue have been lost to the fiscus owing to long overdue customs duty decision-making, while also having more far-reaching implications for industries and trade and investment. If all of the cases that required changes to customs duties had been finalised – and granted – on time, it would have ensured a collection of R1.25-billion by now, cumulatively, for every case that is long overdue. Some cases have remained unresolved as long as three years, but XA Global founder and CEO Donald MacKay says tariff investigations should take four to six months, as per the rules of the International Trade Administration Commission (Itac) which is South Africa's authority on goods movement across borders. MacKay and his team conducted research into delays experienced with customs decisions at Itac and the ministries of Finance and Trade, Competition and Industry, and found that the average days taken for tariff investigations has increased to an average of 320 days since 2015, compared with an average of 191 days between 2009 and 2014. He states in the XA Open Cases Report, which can be found at, that as localisation becomes more firmly driven, the behaviour around tariff policy is taking increasingly longer. In addition to the fiscal losses of revenue, another R2-billion has been collected in duties for goods not made locally, adding a R2-billion cost to industries without actually protecting domestic industry. South Africa collects about R55-billion a year in customs duties, so these delays are equivalent to more than 5% of the country's total customs duty collections. MacKay says the expectation is not for Trade, Industry and Competition Minister Ebrahim Patel to impose fewer or more duties, but to effect a quicker turnaround time for decisions on proposed duties to be made. He elaborates that, of the 46 cases that are currently overdue and that have averaged 16.4 months since their initiation, the bulk of delays have been caused by the Finance and Trade, Industry and Competition ministries, with most cases leaving Itac's desk “fairly quickly”. Of the last three years' cases, 58% are overdue. The rebate review and duty increase cases are most often delayed, with the average days since initiation at 834 and 771 days, respectively. For example, tyre manufacturer Sumitomo asked for duty relief on Styrene-butadiene rubber, a raw material used to make tyres, as there are currently no local manufacturers of the material in the Southern African Customs Union region, and customs duties for this item impose additional input costs in the tyre manufacturing process. This decision has been 22 months overdue at a cost of R34-million in the meantime. Another example is that of value-added meat products manufacturer BRM, which has asked for a rebate of duties on chicken wings, since the company cannot find a local producer willing to commit to its volume requirements. The decision has been nine months overdue at a cost of R93-million in the meantime. MacKay says most businesses will prefer a rejected application as opposed to pending, delayed or unknown outcomes that put vital investment decisions on hold and businesses taking strain over input costs unnecessarily. “These delays are enormous and, most importantly, unnecessary, because the problem can be quickly resolved. Most of these cases have been fully investigated by Itac and simply need to be signed off by the Ministers. Meanwhile, MacKay says there is much confusion legally as to the role of the Finance Minister in customs duties. During Malusi Gigaba's term, he defended twice in court his right to take the final decision in respect of implementing duties; however, this role is not specific in the current tariff regulations or other related pieces of related regulation. MacKay says the regulations have to be amended to make the role of the Finance Minister in this regard clear. He also deems it necessary for an expiry period for ...

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Asia's benzene prices have hit an all-time high on strong performance from the US amid the turnaround season, while styrene price gains have been lagging behind due to weak performance in the styrenics sector. In this podcast, Jasmine Khoo speaks with editors Angeline Soh and Trixie Yap on Benzene and its key downstream sectors styrene monomer (SM) and styrenics. ·         Asia Benzene prices up for five weeks to near eight-year high·         Availability tight during peak maintenance season, tightened by deep-sea demand·         Derivative margins suffer as end-use demand fails to catch up with feedstock cost surge·         Asia benzene-styrene spread weakens to record low·         SM demand limited on slow styrenics offtaking, squeezed productions margins in entire chain·         Wildcard demand from the West for SM or styrenics may emerge on costs

The new documentary "Poly Styrene: I Am a Cliché" tells the story of the frontwoman of the short-lived but influential 1970s British punk rock band X-Ray Spex. The film is co-directed by Paul Sng and Celeste Bell, the only daughter of Poly Styrene. In addition to documenting the life and career of the singer, a woman of color who stood out from the rest of the punk scene at the time, the film also explores the complicated relationship between mother and daughter. Bell and Sng join us.

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Both Asia's and China's styrene price movements have been affected by cost pressures stemming from firmer upstream benzene and ethylene performance, together with a seasonal lull in China's downstream domestic demand and squeezed styrenics production spreads. In this podcast, Jasmine Khoo speaks with editors Trixie Yap and Tina Zhang on the recent development of these conflicting factors and what it means for demand-supply fundamentals in the short run. - Negative margins from high costs have resulted in short-term run rate cuts from Chinese makers- Rising regional NE Asia supply after turnaround season could be neutralised if arbitrage flow from US stops for H2 Sep-Oct arrival- Downstream demand in domestic China will remain on a need-to basis as the seasonal lull extends to August- Chinese import buying will ultimately be dependent on back-to-back marginsHere's the link for the registration form to the seminarhttps://secureforms.icis.com/ICISAsiaStyreneMethodologyandMarketUpdates/?cmpid=ILC%7CCHEM%7CCHWCT-2021-APAC-StyreneMethodology-PDFInvite-Eds&sfid=7014G000001eAfp

Sky high petrochemical prices, which are fuelling downstream inflation, could become deflationary as China’s massive build out of projects comes onstream. - China’s capacity expansions may cause petrochemical overcapacity, price deflation - Asia margins for polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) already weaker - Styrene monomer, paraxylene (PX), ethylene glycol (EG) also affected - 2021 is a watershed year as capacities ramp up - China may reportedly be able to source cheaper raw materials from Iran - Countries which rely on exports to China must seek new business models, markets - Plastic recycling infrastructure must be ramped up quickly - Entire plastics value chain should take responsibility for boosting recycling - Petrochemical industry leaders need to publically commit to hit recycling targets - Developing world faces big problems in improving recycling - Global pact similar to Paris Climate Change agreement may be required

Head of market reporting, Barbara Ortner, and markets editor Fergus Jensen, discuss developments in the Europe styrene market following another record settlement in the barge contract price in May. The seventh consecutive increase in the contract price came as a surprise to many in the market, as spot prices have tumbled by more than a third since their March peak. Tightness in the European styrene market, that was driven by major plant outages in Europe and the US this year, has largely eased. But recent weeks have seen a lull in styrene spot market activity, bringing styrene spot margins over benzene to low levels. With maintenance planned and underway at plants both upstream and downstream of the Europe styrene market, what can we expect to see in the coming weeks and what can we look out for?

Head of Market Reporting, Barbara Ortner, and Markets Editor, Fergus Jensen, discuss the impact of the record price increase for the Europe March styrene contract price. The tightness of the European styrene market is reflected in both the contract and spot markets, driven by major plant outages in both Europe and the US. The styrene monthly contract price plays a key role in determining the health of the whole styrenics chain, but is there a limit to how well the derivatives can absorb these upstream hikes? Have styrene spot prices peaked, or is there more of this to come? As US chemical plants begin the process of restarting after the polar storm, how soon will the increase in supply be felt in the European styrene market?

The global styrene market has risen sharply in February, driven by a number of factors around the world, including production issues in Europe and severe winter storms in Texas. Matthew Cook, associate editorial director for Americas petrochemicals coverage for S&P Global Platts, discusses the recent trends with Platts editors Simon Price in London, Emily Burleson in Houston and Tess Tseng in Singapore.

Asia's styrene monomer (SM) prices have risen by almost 20% on the back of tightened supply outside of China, following unexpected production disruptions due to natural disasters ahead of the scheduled turnaround season in NE Asia, and improved buying sentiment as a result. In this episode of the ICIS Asia podcast, Senior Editor Jasmine Khoo speaks with Trixie Yap, editor in charge of the Asia-Pacific Styrene Monomer market on the recent development. - Firm buying sentiment emerge on even tighter supply outside of China - Sufficient Chinese may balance out unexpected production losses in the West - End-user demand volumes to hinge on downstream production spreads

Following this, we hear to some cute voices of other kids and learn how they are spending their time in the lockdown. Have fun listening! Thank you.

11 persons, including one child, have died after chemical gas leakage of styrene gas at LG Polymers industry in Visakhapatnam this morning. 1,000 people were reported sick after the gas spread in five villages within a three-km radius of the plant at around 3.30am. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was 'closely monitoring' the situation in Visakhapatnam and had spoken to officials in the Union home ministry and the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). PM Modi also called for a meeting of the NDMA at 11 am today to take stock of the situation. 27 persons are involved in the relief and rescue operation being conducted by NDRF What is styrene gas? Styrene is a flammable liquid that is used to make polystyrene plastics, fiberglass,  synthetic rubber,  resins and latex. It occurs naturally in some fruits, vegetables, meats, nuts, and beverages. Styrene is used to make: Insulation. Styrene,  is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H5CH=CH2. This derivative of benzene is a colorless oily liquid although aged samples can appear yellowish. The compound evaporates easily and has a sweet smell, although high concentrations have a less pleasant odor. Exposure to styrene, can affect the central nervous system (CNS), causing headache, fatigue, weakness, and depression. What is impact of the the leak? Chronic exposure to styrene in humans can affect the central nervous system (CNS), causing headache, fatigue, weakness, depression and CNS dysfunction, hearing loss, and peripheral neuropathy. People woke up in horror with breathlessness and a burning sensation in their eyes as the emission spread to the adjoining villages. Some fell unconscious while fleeing King George Hospital’s G Arjuna said a high concentration of gas near the leakage point and a longer period of inhalation by people when they were asleep made them sick. Where did the gas leak take place? The gas leak happened at the LG Polymer plant at Gopalapatnam on the outskirts of Visakhapatnam. Workers were preparing for the reopening of the plant today when gas started leaking in the early hours. How many people were evacuated As many as 3,000 people were evacuated to safe places and at least 250 were admitted to various hospitals, according to initial reports. Those in critical condition were put on oxygen support. Vizag collector Vinay Chand said the administration rushed ambulances and other vehicles to evacuate people soon after receiving the information at around 4 am. Efforts were still on to contain the leakage completely. About the plant Established in 1969, the LG Polymers manufacturing plant produces hypol and EPS polymers, polystyrene, expandable polystyrene and other styrene polymers, according to the company’s website. These are widely used for electrical and electronics packaging, cold storage, boxes for agricultural and fishery products. It also manufactures engineering plastic which is lighter yet stronger than general plastics. Thus, it is used as an industrial raw material for automobiles and electronic parts. The Indian subsidiary of South Korea's LG Chem had taken it over 15 years ago. What could have been cause of the leak? The plant had been shut for 40 days due to the nationwide lockdown in force to prevent the spread of coronavirus. The leakage is believed to have taken place when the plant’s employees were preparing to reopen it following some recent relaxations announced by the government. Only a thorough investigation will reveal what exactly happened An official of LG Polymers issued a statement that there was 1800 tonnes of styrene in the storage tank. He said that due to stagnation and changes in temperature it could have resulted in auto polymerization which could have caused vapourisation. LG Chem, the owner of LG Polymers, said in a statement that the gas emitted in the leak can cause nausea and dizziness when inhaled. It said it was seeking to ensure

What's in store for 2020? As 2019's heavy turnaround season at all main European petrochemical cracker units came to an end, ethylene supplies returned to a progressively weakening derivatives market. Styrene monomer in particular has been significantly affected and set to remain bearish for the foreseeable future. On the opposite side, upstream naphtha has kept strong and has recently pushed European cracker margins to the floor. How did this situation develop and what is to expect in H1 2020? Ora Lazic, European ethylene editor, and Olu Shaw, editor for the European styrenics chain, discuss on today's Commodities Focus podcast.
