eastborne - More than a hundred people had to be treated in hospitals after a kind of chemical mist from the sea had reached the coast of East Sussex County in southern England. It was about visitors to the beach and the cliffs near Birling Gap, near the coastal town of Eastbourne.

Doctors were told Sunday evening and night to Monday with people complaining about irritations of eyes and throat. The police informed that they could not yet find out the cause of the chemical cloud.
