Authorities evacuated 80 people from a north Georgia plant that manufactures kitchen and bathroom faucets after an inadvertent mix of chemicals produced a hazardous reaction and vapor cloud. Capt. Jason Shivers of the Forsyth County Fire Department said no businesses other than the Hansgrohe plant were affected Monday, and no homes are nearby. One person was taken to the hospital as aprecaution. A puff of yellow smoke that arose over the building haddissipated shortly after 3 p.m.
