Gianpaolo Bottacin, an official from the civil protection department, saidthe two workers had suffered serious burn injuries in the blast, which occurred in the Porto Marghera area on the mainland,a few kilometres from the historic centre of the lagoon city.

RAI state television and other local media reportedthe explosion hit speciality chemicals group 3V Sigma.No comment was immediately available from the company.

Ambulances and fire services as well as officials from environmental agency ARPAV were at the scene and television footage showed clouds of thick black smoke visible from several kilometres away.

“The area is blocked off at the moment, which means the fire won’t get out of the company site, but inside that area it’s hard to imagine it will be put out any time soon,” Bottacin told a news briefing.
