ATCHISON — One person remains hospitalized a few days after a chemical spill sent a noxious chemical cloud over a northeast Kansas town.
The spill occurred Friday morning after two chemicals were inadvertently combined at the MGP Ingredients plant in Atchison. The chemical release created a chemical cloud over sections of Atchison and sparked evacuations.
Officials said dozens of people sought medical treatment Friday, largely for respiratory problems. Most had been treated and released by later Friday.
