Seattle Fire Department (SFD) crews were investigating an unknown toxic substance in South Seattle Friday. SFD first posted about the toxic substance in the 1700 block of Airport Way South in Seattle at approximately 11 a.m.

The substance, which spilled inside the medical sales/lab building, was confirmed by SFD as ammonia hydroxide. One person was evaluated after coming in contact with the substance but was not taken to the hospital.

成人X站 Newsradio confirmed an employee was carrying the ammonia hydroxide solution which is commonly used to clean or regulate pH (acidity). The person came in contact but firefighters said they are “doing just fine.”
