Navigate through Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, Email, Print, Copy Link as you find yourself caught in a puzzle involving a DHL distribution center near Nuremberg, Germany. The center in Langenzenn has left a dozen employees struggling with skin problems due to an unknown substance stuck onto several packages. Firefighters have set up decontamination showers for the occasion.
Twelve distressed employees at a DHL center in the quiet town of Langenzenn are receiving dermatological treatment. At least eight individuals are battling the effects of the mysterious substance on their skin. The center was temporarily vacated as a safety measure. The police spokeswoman reassured the public that there was no cause for concern beyond the center's premises.
The source of the enigmatic powder remains a mystery. According to the local fire department, assorted packages have been found with white powder attachments. Teams of hazardous materials experts from the fire department and police have collected samples for analysis. Dermatological examinations of the affected employees could potentially shed light on the situation as well [1][2].
Whether the powder is behind the employees' skin maladies is still unanswered. It is also uncertain whether the harmful substance leaked from a single package or was brought in from elsewhere. Packages containing the powder didn't stem from the same sender, stated District Fire Chief Frank Stegmann [3].
Upon the realization of the hazard, the building was quickly emptied. Initially, around 35 people passed through the fire department's decontamination shower, set up for anyone exposed to harmful substances.
