A total of 500 people from Bulgaria's second largest city of Plovdiv were evacuated Sunday evening after a monitoring station detected levels of sulphur dioxide several times exceeding the permitted threshold.
"The citizens from 100 houses have been forced to leave them immediately," Mayor Slavcho Atanassov explained.
The poisoning substance leaked from a tank-car parked in the yard of a closed factory in Gaganitsa neighborhood.
Reports said the truck was owned by the businessman Petar Manchev.
Firefighters, the regional prosecutor, the mayor and representatives of the regional ecology inspectorate arrived immediately for a view at the scene.
The lives of the local people are not in danger, authorities assured.
