Chemical leak at factory

Seoul: Six workers were injured yesterday due to a chemical leak at LG Display Co’s factory in South Korea, an official at a local fire station said.

LG Display, which supplies mobile displays to Apple Inc, said it was looking into the cause of the accident at its plant in the city of Paju, 55km north of Seoul.

The company said its production had not been affected.

‘‘The leaked chemical is suspected to be tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide, which is highly toxic,’’ an official at Paju Fire Station said, saying six people had been injured and taken to hospital.
