Edited sentence: According to the Daily Telegraph, "Medics on the ground reported smelling a chlorine-like substance, but said the patients' symptoms and the large death toll pointed to a more noxious substance such as nerve agent sarin".On 2 August 2018, Brian Whitaker, wrote that the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) “had found no evidence of a nerve agent such as sarin.The Commission received information on the death of at least 49 individuals, and the wounding of up to 650 others ... the Commission cannot make yet any conclusions concerning the exact causes of death, in particular on whether another agent was used in addition to chlorine that may have caused or contributed to deaths and injuries".The tests did however show "various chlorinated organic chemicals" which might – or might not – be the result of chlorine used as a weapon”
