A chlorine gas leak at a petrochemical centre in southeast Iran sickened 70 workers.
Most of the workers at the Karun petrochemical centre in the city of Mahshahr in southeast Khuzestan province were released after undergoing medical treatment.
Meanwhile, in the city of Ahvaz, also in Khuzestan, a fire at the Zergan power plant was ignited when a transformer exploded, IRNA reported Saturday.Mohammad Hafezi, the power plant's health and safety manager, told IRNA the cause of the fire was under investigation. The two incidents in Iran's oil-rich Khuzestan come after a fire and explosion at a centrifuge production plant above Iran's underground Natanz nuclear enrichment facility early Thursday.
Officials said the cause of the fire at Natanz is known to officials, but won't be immediately released for "security reasons."Related Stories
