SUN CITY WEST, AZ — A portion of the Banner Health Center in Sun City West was evacuated Thursday morning after a nitrogen leak.
The leak occurred around 8 a.m. at the medical facility near Grand Avenue and Reems Road.
Arizona Fire and Medical Authority officials say a surgery center within the medical complex was evacuated after a small leak was found in a 50-liter nitrogen tank.
There were no readings of nitrogen within the building, but seven people reported symptoms of nausea and dizziness. Two people were taken to a hospital for treatment.
The evacuations have since been lifted and the surgery center has reopened.
The cause of the leak is not known.
Editor's note: Officials originally reported the tank was 50 gallons, but later corrected the size.
