The leaks have been identified as a combination of sulfuric acid and liquid bleach.
Of those taken to the hospital, several individuals reported serious personal injuries, with many listed in critical condition. More than 100 patrons have gone through the decontamination process.
The types of injuries related to chemical spills vary, but may include eye injuries, skin irritation, and potential organ injuries. These injuries may occur as the result of direct exposure such as inhalation or ingestion of a chemical. They may also arise due to general contact with hazardous materials.
