One person has been killed and nine injured after an explosion at a chemical plant in China's eastern Shandong province, state media report.
Xinhua news agency said a warehouse in Zibo city exploded, triggering a fire. Huge flames were visible.
The site is just 1km from a residential area. No contamination had been detected, the agency said.
Earlier this month, blasts involving chemicals killed at least 121 people in the city of Tianjin, further north.
Hundreds were injured and 54 are still missing.
The proximity of industrial and chemical plants to residential areas has become hugely controversial.
Widespread public anger over the deadly explosions in Tianjin has led to promises to improve China's patchy commitment to industrial safety, says the BBC's Celia Hatton in Beijing.
Last week, an inspection of places storing hazardous chemicals in Beijing unearthed safety issues at 85 out of 124 sites, resulting in two emergency factory closures
