Advice following gas cloud

Anyone suffering the effects of a gas cloud which affected the East Sussex Coast yesterday are advised by Public Health England to irrigate their eyes if they are irritated and to wash all over with plenty of soap and water, which will be sufficient to decontaminate their bodies.

If you were affected and after taking the precautions recommended you still feel ill, contact 111 for advice and only visit your local A&E if you are still suffering significant effects.

People living along the coast were advised to remain indoors with windows and doors shut. However, the vast majority of the gas appears to have dissipated.
