An employee at the ILVA steelworks suffered first-degree burns after slag exploded from a container Wednesday in an area of the mill subject to closure for upgrades. Giuseppe Raho, 34, was injured at the plant in southern Italy which has been ordered closed for upgrades and environmental improvements. The ILVA case, in the southern region of Puglia, has pitted environmental concerns due to high cancer rates against workers unwilling to lose their jobs after a court-ordered closure.
