This is why you keep at a minimum a dust mask in your car; added chemical goggles are better and a full mask is best. Also keeping some water on hand is good for rinsing.

Wonderful! Im sure that stuff was non toxic and water based, so this should end well. This could be the cloud that brings on the zombies. Or at least a bunch of tainted crops for the next 50 years. Whats Spains biggest export?

Thank god this isn't over here in New England. As a dedicated EPA contractor and emergency responder, I'd have to respond to this crap and do air monitoring. Although we could use the work now...

Off the top of my head, foodstuffs Spain exports are olives, olive oil, citrus fruit, saffron, wine, cork.

The folks in our Barcelona facilities say it is not as bad as the news is making it look, and that the cloud dissipated quickly.

After every one took a deep breath of polluted air.

it's just nitirc acid, it will neutralize fairly rapidly on its own in the atmosphere. Provided you're not in the actual orange cloud, not too much to be worried about.
