ATLANTA (AP) - A suspicious package found at a Bank of America branch was found to contain ammonium chloride.
Authorities cleared the bank on Ponce de Leon when the package was found about 11:45 a.m. Tuesday.
Firefighters wearing hazardous material suits removed the package after bomb squad personnel determined it was not an explosive device.
Ammonium chloride is salt-like in its purest form, is sold in blocks at hardware stores and has varied industrial and manufacturing uses. It can induce nausea or vomiting.
Authorities said the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is working with bank officials on the investigation.
