SARASOTA, Fla. (TheBlaze/AP) — Hazardous materials teams found unidentified chemicals inside cleaning closets at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Florida on Monday after the clinic sent seven staffers who were complaining of breathing problems to a hospital for evaluation, police and clinic officials said.
A total of 42 people were evacuated at 10:45 a.m. and people were decontaminated at the scene, Sarasota Police Department spokeswoman Genevieve Judge said in a news release. At the moment, there is no criminal investigation, Judge said. Planned Parenthood spokesman Andrew Taverrite said no patients were onsite.
At least seven people were taken to the hospital as a result of the incident, Fox News reported.
The workers were expected to be allowed back into the clinic later Monday, Judge said.
The clinic provides family planning services, preventive health care, testing for sexually transmitted diseases, and abortions.
Planned Parenthood is a national target because of its role as the largest U.S. abortion provider.
Last year, edited videos were released purporting to show Planned Parenthood selling fetal tissue for profit. The organization has denied the allegation.
Two anti-abortion activists were indicted in connection with making the videos.

Former Vice President Al Gore declined to endorse either former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination during an interview Monday on NBC’s “Today.”
Asked if either candidate had sought his endorsement, Gore replied, “I’ve gotten signals that you can interpret that way.”

Gore called himself a “lifelong Democrat” and declared that he will support the Democratic nominee.
Discussing the “unusual” 2016 presidential campaign, Gore said, “I’m one of the millions who sometimes just does a double take: ‘Whoa, what was that?’”
Though he criticized presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump’s stance on climate change, Gore said that he has “some basis for hope” for progress on climate change — the former veep’s signature issue — should Trump become president. “President [Jimmy] Carter said that he hopes [Trump] will be malleable, so I don’t know,” Gore said.
Gore’s interview was part of a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the release of “An Inconvenient Truth,” the climate change documentary he made following his failed 2000 campaign for president.
He told NBC that he still faces “attacks” by people “who don’t like the message,” of the film, which contained several errors and predictions that never came to pass. And he went on to point out that he lives a “green” lifestyle. “I don’t own a private plane,” Gore said. “My house runs on 100 percent renewable energy. I do walk the talk.”

A San Fransisco sportscaster had a hard time containing his agitation when he realized during a live broadcast that the story he’d prepared to discuss had already been covered by his colleague minutes earlier.
KRON-TV’s Gary Radnich was ready to talk about NBA star LeBron James’ role in the new “Space Jam 2” movie, but moments before his segment began, he realized that fellow KRON reporter Catherine Heenan had already broken the news.
Image source: YouTube
“We should tell you LeBron James is gonna star —” he begins, before shooting Heenan a hateful glare, “— in ‘Space Jam.’”
“We actually — oh. Are you mad? ‘Cause I already said that,” Heenan replied, sounding hesitant.
Then, as the cameras continued to roll during the live newscast, Radnich, who joined the station in 1985, according to his bio, proceeded to grill Heenan on her sports knowledge.
“How’s Steph Curry‘s knee?” he asked before launching into a tirade, expressing his disbelief that Heenan would engage in such an act of betrayal.
“How long have we been friends? Twenty-three years,” he said. “Have you ever — and I’m gonna say this with a smile — have you ever heard me say right before you came on, ‘There’s an irrigation problem in Gilroy’?” he fumed.
Heenan tried to laugh it off with an eye roll before telling her coworker that he’d have to discuss the matter with the station’s producer, whom she claimed gave her “that lovely script.”
“Don’t try and pit me against the producer,” Radnich shot back.
The sportscaster then addressed the camera, sharing with all of his viewers that Hennan was a longtime family friend.
“Catherine has stayed in my mother’s home, she’s written my mother notes and she’s stolen my material,” he said.
After the incident, some of Heenan’s fans reached out on Twitter to voice their support.
“Sorry to see how Gary treated you on air,” one follower named Matt Dalton wrote, adding, “We’ve all worked with jerks. He should apologize.”
@CHeenan4 Few days late on this, but sorry to see how Gary treated you on air. (Space Jam) We've all worked with jerks. He should apologize.
— Matt Dalton (@dalton_matt) May 4, 2016
Heenan replied, thanking him while trying to downplay the uncomfortable event: “Thanks Matt — I know he was just trying to be funny, but I appreciate the support!”
@CHeenan4 Years in the industry…he should know better. I would have apologized on the spot. Then starts talking about family. Awkward :P
— Matt Dalton (@dalton_matt) May 5, 2016
Dalton replied that Radnich “should know better,” calling the situation “awkward.”
“Well done in that Gary R thing,” another follower named Neal Cavanaugh tweeted. “You handled it great.”
@CHeenan4 Well done in that Gary R thing. You handled it great. I stopped listening to Gary years ago because of his
runaway ego.— Neal Cavanaugh (@wordscollide) May 21, 2016
Cavanaugh shared with Heenan that he “stopped listening to Gary years ago because of his runaway ego.”
On Saturday, Radnich wrote a Facebook post addressed to viewers who “thought [he] was mad,” asking people to “please watch again” and see that he was actually only “playing.”
Was it all just a bizarre joke? That’s for viewers to decide.

The choir at East Liverpool High School in East Liverpool, Ohio, had a long tradition of singing the Lord’s Prayer during graduation ceremonies — a 70-year practice that school officials recently halted after demands from an atheist activist group.
But students apparently weren’t willing to bow down to the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s complaint so easily. When class valedictorian Jonathan Montgomery took the stage this weekend, he reportedly led the entire class in reciting the popular Christian prayer.
What followed was a rousing round of applause from the audience. Watch the moment unfold at the 2:25 mark below:
Some have questioned why the school district backed down so quickly — a question that the head of the East Liverpool City School board was more than willing to answer.
School board president Larry Walton told WTOV-TV that officials decided not to fight atheists’ demands due to the costly legal battle that could have unfolded as a result.
“We said ‘okay, we just won’t do it anymore,’” he told the outlet. “It was a decision made because we don’t have a lot of money and we’d rather hire teachers than pay lawyers.”
Walton previously apologized and said, “It’s a war we can’t win.”
We’ll leave you with another report about the defiant move below:
