Three dock workers at the Port of Los Angeles have been hospitalized following a chemical spill on board a cargo ship October 23 2010. The chemical is called xylenol and is sometimes used in pesticides. The leak was reported around 4 p.m. aboard the APL Sweden at Berth 303. A fire department spokesman said the spill was only a couple of gallons, but three workers did have respiratory problems and were taken to the hospital. No land-based evacuations were ordered, but the ship was evacuated while a hazardous materials team investigated.
