July 14 - Altogether 107 workers were hospitalized after a leak of poisonous chlorine gas at a chemical plant in southwest China's Sichuan Province Friday night, the local government said.

 

Eight of them need treatment for poisoning and the rest are under observation, the provincial1 administration for workplace safety supervision2 said on Saturday.

 

The accident happened at 10:40 p.m. at Xinyu Chemical Co. Ltd, a new plant that was inaugurated only on Thursday in the industrial city of Panzhihua. The leak was capped overnight and caused no evacuation.

 

Investigators3 have blamed the accident on equipment failure.

 

Huang Yanrong, vice4 governor of Sichuan, has demanded 24-hour monitoring of the local air quality.

 

Located in the hilly Sichuan province 2,100 kilometers southwest of Beijing, Panzhihua is home to one of China's largest steel makers5 and many mines and small factories.
