A huge blaze at a plant used to
treat special and hazardous waste at Mortara, near the northern
city of Pavia, has sparked an alarm that dioxins and other
dangerous chemical substances may be in the air.
The mayor of Mortara and other towns in the area have issued
ordinances encouraging people to stay at home, to keep their
windows closed and not to collect or consume produce grown in
the area until the results of air-quality tests are known.
