IJmuiden steel maker Tata Steel may be facing prosecution for breaking its environmental permits, broadcaster NOS said on Thursday, following a report in the Volkskrant newspaper.
The company is under fire for not doing enough to stop so-called graphite rain showering people living in the nearby town of Wijk aan Zee, which can pose a risk to health.
