KUALA LUMPUR, July 4 — At least 20 individuals experienced nausea following a chemical leak at the KLIA Southern Support Zone Aircraft Engineering area today.
According to the Selangor Fire and Rescue Department, those affected included staff from Sepang Aircraft, MAS Engineering Hangar, and CAE.
Six individuals were transported to the Air Disaster Unit, 13 to the airport’s medical centre, and one to Putrajaya Hospital for treatment, as reported by the New Straits Times.
