I read the report, and while the practices are inexcusably shoddy, I am struggling to see anything to substantiate the poster's core claim that Apple was handling "extremely dangerous" chemicals at the site and that they could've harmed a person living a good distance away.

For example, violation #6 appears to be about a tank holding diluted solvents such as isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and NMP. And the violation is that they labeled it as "CA-133" waste while it should be also labeled as "D001" waste because it's flammable. That's shitty, but I don't see how that could've poisoned someone from afar. You don't want to huff these solvents, but they are common and have modest toxicity.

Or, take violation #2: a bucket labeled "adhesive liquids and tape", which should've been closed but wasn't. Violation #3 is that a bucket labeled "silicone" has been on the site for more than 90 days. And on, and on.

Don't get me wrong, if you're operating in a location like that, you should do everything by the book, so I hope Apple gets in enough trouble to notice - but I see a pretty sharp disconnect between the Mastodon thread and the report.
