Farmworkers sick, cows die, mysterious fumes blamed

Four young men were taken to hospital and 26 cows have died on a farm in the Overijssel village of Schuinesloot after apparently being overcome by mysterious fumes.


The Telegraaf says the cause of the incident is probably a mixture of chemical fumes and manure. The labour inspectorate has launched an investigation.
