Grenadians hospitalised from gas exposure

Eighteen people remain hospitalised in Grenada after they were exposed to concentrated chlorine gas.



The island's Water and Sewerage Authority is investigating a chlorine leak in a small community in the north eastern town of Grenville.



Initial tests indicate that the gas is escaping from chlorine tanks buried at least seven feet and sealed by concrete.



Excavation work to remove the tanks is expected to begin today.
