No Toxic Material Found as State Senator's Office After Workers Report Illness, Officials Say
A hazardous materials team was called to a Maryland State Senator's office in Largo after three people reported feeling sick and believed they may have inhaled something toxic.
Prince George's Fire Department spokesperson Mark Brady said investigators didn't find any hazardous, suspicious or toxic substances.
A woman who works at Senator C. Anthony Muse's campaign office reportedly took the bag out of a trash bin and felt "a sudden rush of something being inhaled," Brady said. Initial reports were that she saw a white powder waft into the air from the trash bin, but officials said no white powder was found.
The woman felt sick when she returned from the dumpster. Fearing she had inhaled something toxic, she called 911. Two others in the office also felt sick.
