Dead fish can be seen in the Songhua River as
the State Environment Protection Administration confirmed Wednesday that
pollutants containing benzene and nitrobenzene contaminated the river
after a chemical-plant blast at the upper reaches in Northeast China. An
80-kilometre swathe of polluted water was expected to reach the
water-sourcing area of Harbin which was forced to cut off water supply for
four days. [newsphoto]
