Ten people suffocated to death by smoke inhalation at a large Chinese pharmaceutical firm on Monday, state media reported, the lastest in a spate of deadly industrial incidents across the country.
Sparks from a pipe being welded at Qilu Tianhe Huishi Pharmaceutical Co. in eastern Shandong province caused a substance to catch fire and give off the smoke, state news agency Xinhua reported. Twelve rescue workers were hurt but were not in life-threatening condition, it added.
