SHANGHAI, China (AP) - Cracking down after a spate of toxic chemical spills, China's environmental agency ordered cleanups at some heavily polluting factories and is planning inspections of other big projects, state media reported Wednesday.
Eleven heavily polluting factories must clean up or face closure or fines. Separately, inspections are planned at 127 large chemical and petrochemical projects.
The State Environmental Protection Agency also named 10 road construction, power plant and other projects it said were put on hold for posing environmental hazards, state media reported.
