Tooele Workers Tested for VX Exposure

Eight workers at the U.S. Army’s Tooele Chemical Agent Disposal Facility were being checked for possible exposure to VX nerve agent, Deseret Chemical Depot officials said yesterday (see GSN, Nov. 2).

None of the workers experienced symptoms, according to the Associated Press. They were tested as a precaution because sensors at the facility indicated contamination on Monday and Tuesday on a set of Life Support System air hoses.

Results of the lab tests are not yet known, according to AP (Associated Press/KSL-TV.com, Nov. 2).
