Toxic ‘Mist from the Sea’ Sickens Dozens in the UK

Cloud of toxic gas forces mass evacuation at busy UK beach

At least 150 people have been “decontaminated” in hospital after a suspected chemical leak along the East Sussex coast in the UK, a report said.

“Birling Gap beach was evacuated on Sunday after people reported breathing difficulties, stinging eyes and vomiting when a ‘mist’ appeared.”

An eyewitness said a “foggy haze rolled in out of nowhere” and there was a “strong smell of chlorine in the air.”

Meanwhile, UK police issued a “chemical haze” warning for the Birling Gap area, where the toxic cloud was reported.

Police also warned people to stay away from the beaches, on a busy public holiday weekend, and “urged people to keep doors and windows shut in the affected area, between the resort town of Eastbourne and Birling Gap, a few miles along the coast.”
