RIDGELAND, S.C. (AP) â€" Dozens of fans were being screened Friday night by emergency responders after odor from a ventilation unit sickened several players and spectators at a high school basketball game.

What in an A/C system could malfunction that would cause a sickness?

My first thought was someone put something in a vent for a joke, but I have no idea. That said, you might want to shorten your quoted article to comply with copyright/fair use laws - looks like you quoted the entire thing

The FD had two choices, mass decon in which everyone got in line to get clean or a decon based on triage of the ones suspected of exposure.

Factor in the media's lack of understanding in the area of haz mat response and you get what is stated in the article.

I have worked many mysterious / unknown smells on incidents and even with all of the incredible diagnostic equipment at our disposal, sometimes it is categorized as an unknown. :?
