Chemical leak in Samseong-dong? This kind of incident in Gangnam...

I saw a news report that a chemical spill was reported in Samseong-dong, Gangnam.

 

The chemical substance report in Samseong-dong was about an unknown gas leak inside the building.

Eleven people complained of nausea and sore throat; three received on-site treatment, and eight were transported to the hospital, where they were discharged after treatment.

 

 

The fire department controlled the area near the scene and investigated whether there was a chemical leak in Samseong-dong.

 

A very small amount of hydrogen sulfide was detected during the initial investigation, so a detailed investigation was conducted.

No abnormalities were found in the final test results.

 

Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless, foul-smelling gas that smells like rotten eggs.

This is a toxic gas that can cause suffocation if inhaled.

 

 

The fire department is considering that the impact may be due to the water meter rather than a chemical leak in Samseong-dong.

I explained that we have instructed the relevant agencies to carry out cleaning.

 

So it's a relief that it's not a big problem!
