PUEBLO, Colo.—Authorities say 16 people in Pueblo have gone to a decontamination site after complaining of symptoms consistent with hazardous materials exposure.
A possible exposure to chemicals at a state printing shop prompted an hour-long lockdown Friday. But the Pueblo County sheriff’s office says tests didn’t identify anything that would cause the symptoms.
The building at the Pueblo Memorial Airport Industrial Park was turned back over to Integrated Document Solutions, an extension of the Colorado Department of Personnel and Administration.
Firefighters helped at the hospital with the decontamination. Authorities say seven of the eight employees were in good condition and another was in fair condition at the hospital. Others decontaminated because they came into contact with the workers have been released.
The center produces marriage licenses and other state documents.
