A chemical plant discharged ammonia into a river in central China, killing fish along a 40 kilometer stretch and prompting the company responsible to suspend trading of its shares.
Authorities have cleared about 100,000 kilograms (110 tons) of fish from the Fuhe River in Hubei province since Sept. 2 after the spill at a factory owned by Hubei Shuanghuan Science and Technology Stock Co., the official Xinhua News Agency reported today, citing local authorities.
