At 7.30 am, around 100 people took ill in a district of the French city of Grenoble due to a strong odour with a pungent taste and causing irritation to the eyes. The police, fire-fighters and a representative of a chemical platform who were alerted several times carried out reconnaissance operations. The colorimetric analysis (chlorine) carried out on the air samples yielded no results. The odour disappeared late in the morning. No chemical leak was reported and the people were not asked to stay indoors or evacuate the district.
