Formaldehyde fumes suspected in death of shoe factory worker
29/10/2002
The spraying of formaldehyde in a storage area is thought to be behind an outbreak of sickness among employees at a Vietnamese footwear plant, in which a worker died.
Hundreds of workers at the Nam Kang Shoe Factory, located in the Binh Duong province, were sent home early on Friday (October 25) after they complained of a noxious smell. That night around 150 workers visited hospital and the next day a female worker who had been hospitalised with breathing difficulties tragically died.
