Rain stokes pollution fears at Tianjin blasts site
Rains are expected to complicate rescue efforts and may spread pollution at the Tianjin port, which was rocked by warehouse blasts last week.
China's central meteorological authority has predicted a thunder storm over the blast site, where hundreds of tons of toxic cyanide still reside.
A chemical weapon specialist at the site told Xinhua that rain water may merge with the scattered chemicals, adding to probability for new explosions and spreading toxins.
Authorities have said the cofferdams built around the 100,000-square-meter core area of the blasts will receive constant reinforcement to prevent the outflow of contaminated water after it rains.
A total of 114 people were confirmed dead, and 70 remain missing after two huge explosions occurred before midnight on Aug. 12 at a warehouse for hazardous chemicals.
Officials said about 700 tons of sodium cyanide were at the blast site but remained mostly unaffected.
