What’s Lurking in Your Shipping Box?

Here’s a wild one for your next coffee break: Some shipping containers coming into the US are still being treated with a toxic chemical called methyl bromide—yes, the same stuff that was supposed to be banned ages ago. This means neighborhoods near busy ports (think Long Beach) could be breathing in more than just sea air. If you live, work, or shop near a port, it’s worth knowing what’s in those containers. Stay curious and check for “MB” on pallets! #Business #Industry #ShippingNews
