An Indian Wells Country Club employee was transported to Eisenhower Medical Center after being overcome by hazardous fumes while trying to clean an ice machine.

The Riverside County Environmental Health Hazardous Materials Branch responded to the Friday incident and found no hazardous conditions based on monitoring equipment readings. Officials still used fans to ventilate the room.

According to county officials, the employee, in response to a recent health inspection, was cleaning the ice machine using Nu-Calgon liquid cleaner that contains Phosphoric Acid and is known to cause burns to the eyes, skin and mucous membranes.
