Thirty-eight people were hospitalised after containers holding anhydrous ammonia leaked while being transported via tractor on 25 April in a village 50 miles north of Chicago, Illinois. The victims, who experienced breathing difficulties, included 11 firefighters, two sheriff’s deputies, and one police officer. Seven of these individuals were in a ‘critical’ condition, and two remain in hospital. They have both been upgraded to ‘serious’ condition.
