A relatively large area of Kløvermarken in Amager has been cordoned off due to a chemical spill in Vermlandsgade, according to DR.

“There has been a chemical spill at a company in Vermlandsgade, and there’s a yellow cloud down there,” says Copenhagen Police Duty Officer Mads Firlings.

People in and around Vermlandsgade and Upplandsgade streets are being asked to stay indoors and close windows and doors.

Copenhagen police say there are no reports of injuries, but if people are affected by the smell, they should leave the area.

The fumes are corrosive and can cause damage to the lungs, the Copenhagen Fire Brigade Duty Chief Niels Ole Birup tells TV2News.
