A nitrogen gas leak at Intel Corp.’s chipmaking plant in Chandler, Arizona, yesterday morning sent 11 people to the hospital with skin and eye irritation symptoms, a local official said.
Forty-three people were treated following the discovery of a hazardous material leak, said Tom Dwiggins, a spokesman for the Chandler Fire Department, in a telephone interview. He said the department initially responded to a 911 call from the plant, where it was reported someone was having difficulty breathing.
