Chlorine gas sickens dozens of swimmers at a Utah public pool in what police called a freak accident.
Chlorine gas has sickened dozens of swimmers at a Utah public pool in what police called a freak accident.
About 50 people, mostly children, were sickened and ambulances took more than 20 people to hospitals, Smith said. The chlorine caused people to cough, vomit and bleed from their noses, he said."I just turned around and saw some bubbling from the pool — some yellow bubbling — and I knew it wasn't good," Vickers told KSL-TV .
Patients who inhaled the gas could have chronic respiratory issues, said Nathan Miller, an emergency room doctor at the American Fork Hospital where some of the patients were taken.
