The children, aged between 10 and 15, were said to have suffered minor respiratory problems after being exposed to fumes from work at a hotel swimming pool in Geroskipou just after 16:00 on Monday evening.
According to the police, the on-site inspection was completed, and written statements from several people and various evidence were taken for scientific examination. According to the Assistant Police Commissioner of Paphos Operations, the maintenance of the pool is not usually carried out at this time, but before or after customers use it.
He went on to say that in this case, it is necessary to put maintenance chemicals on as an emergency because the measurements show that the chlorine percentage is low and therefore must be replenished.
A total of 26 people visited the hospital, including 12 adults and 14 minors.
Two children, boys aged 8 and 9, will be detained as a precaution.
As mentioned above, Mr. Nikolaou, a hotel employee, said that in order to save water, he poured two chemical liquids into the overflow channel. He added that the combination of the two liquids seemed to cause severe evaporation.
Eight children nearby who inhaled smoke became unwell and were taken to the emergency room of Paphos General Hospital. Finally, he noted that on-site inspections are continuing in collaboration with the Labour Department officials.
Meanwhile, the Labour Inspectorate and the Fire Service went to the hotel unit in Geroskipou due to smoke generated during maintenance work on the swimming pool, according to a post by the Fire Service press representative Andreas Ketti on the X platform.
According to Mr Katy, “Paphos Fire Station dispatched two fire engines, including a team and a hazardous materials response vehicle, to a hotel unit due to smoke generated during pool maintenance work after chemical materials mixed and reacted”.
Mr Ketis went on to insist that eight children in the swimming pool were taken by ambulance to TAEP at Paphos Hospital for smoke inhalation.
The Labour Inspectorate also attended the scene. The Fire Department said Mr Kaitis could only provide advice and inspections.
