Twenty-two people were sent to hospital for treatment after inhaling ammonia during a leak at a meat processing factory in central South Korea, local firefighters said Thursday.
The gas leak happened at about 9:40 a.m. in a meat processing facility located in Eumseong, North Chungcheong Province, about 130 kilometers south of Seoul, according to the firefighters.
Twenty workers in the factory and two others working at a nearby manufacturing plant were taken to hospital with nausea.
They are all reportedly in stable condition.
