Forty-two people were transported to hospital — 10 in serious-to-critical condition — after a carbon monoxide exposure in Delta, B.C. Saturday.
Everyone affected has now been released.
The incident took place at a greenhouse farm called Windset Farms on 41B St., where police say a number of people became ill while pressure washing inside a nursery. Officials say carbon monoxide from the gas engine may have built up because of poor ventilation.
While only approximately a dozen or so workers showed symptoms, all staff were taken to various hospitals around Metro Vancouver to be checked as a precaution. Eight individuals were taken away by ambulances at the time.
