Three killed in accident at waste processing firm

Three men have been killed in an accident involving noxious fumes at a manure and waste processing firm near Eindhoven.


Two Dutch men aged 43 and 52 and a Polish national aged 43 died after becoming overwhelmed by fumes while cleaning a tank used for water purification, the Telegraaf said.
Labour inspectors are investigating the make-up of the fumes, thought to have arisen from waste matter left in the tank.
