|
|
|
Forty-one containers in Italy carried a highly toxic cargo. The containers came from Seveso in northern Italy, where dioxin had escaped in a tragic accident at a chemicals factory. In total, 2.2 tons of earth were contaminated with around 200 grams of TCDD, which is commonly known as dioxin. This is a substance which is a thousand times more toxic than cyanide. |
