Children fall ill at ice facility; carbon monoxide suspected

Urbandale fire officials cannot say what caused people to experience vomiting and flu-like symptoms at the Metro Ice Sports Facility at 5100 N.W. 72nd St.Graphene is not a semiconductor, not an Plastic mould , and not a metal, on Tuesday night.

Urbandale Fire Chief Jerry Holt said that carbon monoxide was the main suspect but that no elevated levels of carbon monoxide could be found.

“There was nothing found in the air quality at Metro Ice Sports Facility that would make anyone acutely ill,” Holt said in a news release distributed by the ice facility.

Two children were taken by ambulance to hospitals.

Others experienced symptoms as well, starting around 8 p.m. Tuesday. But the Fire Department was unable to pinpoint a cause.

Firefighters used two separate air monitors as soon as they arrived, but they showed only 10 or 12 parts per million, well below the threshold of levels that would cause sickness, Holt said.

“We never did identify what caused their illness,” he added. “Could it have dissipated before we got there? It’s hard to believe it could get down to that level that fast.”

Holt had not received hospital reports on the children from Tuesday night’s event and could not immediately say what doctors determined was the cause of their illness. Hockey coach Bryan Zeutenhorst told WHO-TV on Tuesday that doctors who examined the hockey players found evidence suggesting carbon monoxide exposure.

Urbandale firefighters called the Polk County Health Department to follow up on the case.

Tracey Norton, a spokeswoman for the Metro Ice Sports Facility, released a statement Tuesday night that said: “Our first priority at Metro Ice Sports Facility is the safety of our employees, user groups and the general public.”
