Blasts at chemical plant injure 37 in Spain

‘Several explosions ripped through a recycling site for hazardous chemical waste near Madrid on Thursday, injuring 37 people, three of them seriously, and forcing the evacuation of nearby schools, officials said.
The blast in Arganda del Rey sent up a huge column of black smoke, but emergency services said several air quality measuring stations in the area showed normal readings, easing concerns about toxic pollution.
Thirty seven people were injured in the blasts and fire at the plant, the Arganda del Rey city hall said in a statement.
Firefighters said three of the injured were in serious condition, two for burns and one with a fractured pelvis.
It was unclear whether the injured were all workers at the plant.’
