Five people, four of them children, have been taken to hospital "out of danger" due to chlorine leakage in the uncovered swimming pools of Ugarte (Azkoitia, Gipuzkoa), according to the City Council on its website.
According to this source, the problem has been caused by a technical failure that has unbalanced the chlorination levels of the swimming pools. The five affected have been hospitalized to treat the effects of chlorine.
Although a more thorough investigation is under way, the City Council has explained that early indications indicate that "the cause lies in the technical failure of the chlorine dosing engine".
They have felt the suffering of the people affected and have been treated first by ambulances that have come to the scene, after which two of them have been taken to Zumarraga Hospital and three others to Donostia Hospital for medical care.
Members of the Provincial Fire Department have come to the scene and explained that they have solved the problem and found no cluster of chlorine.
