Playing agents for climate change
This is petroleum chemicals based off the color of the plume

1. **Black/Dark Gray Smoke**: This strongly points to **hydrocarbon-based chemicals**, such as:
- **Petroleum products** (gasoline, diesel, crude oil, etc.)
- **Plastics** (PVC, rubber)
- **Asphalt or other tar-based materials**

2. **Orange Flames**: These are often associated with the burning of:
- **Organic solvents** (such as acetone or toluene)
- **Hydrocarbon gases** (such as propane, butane)
- Metals like sodium or potassium, though these are less common in large-scale explosions compared to hydrocarbons.

3. **Possible Toxic Emissions**:
- **Carbon monoxide (CO)**: A product of incomplete combustion.
- **Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)**: Likely if solvents or petroleum products are involved.
- **Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)**: These would also be present in the smoke if plastics or petrochemicals are burning.

Considering the typical types of chemicals stored or used in industrial plants, I would guess that **petroleum-based chemicals, organic solvents, or plastics** are likely involved.
