Rain in Tianjin after blasts raises pollution fears

TIANJIN, China: Rain fell Tuesday on the remains of a Chinese industrial site devastated by giant explosions, complicating clean-up efforts and heightening fears about toxic contamination as ceremonies were held to mark the disaster’s 114 deaths.

Around 700 tons of highly toxic sodium cyanide were at the site in the northern port of Tianjin, officials say, and water could disperse it more widely.
