A group of airline workers have been sent to hospital after radioactive material leaked on an aircraft at Barcelona airport.
The five workers were potentially exposed to "a medical product" that was going to the cargo section of a plane at Barcelona-El Prat.
The Swiss Airlines plane had landed into Barcelona's main airport from Zurich.
The plane, which was carrying a suitcase with a "radiological medical product", was parked at Terminal 1 at Barcelona airport.

The area around the flight had been cordoned off while checks are carried out to rule out the radiological levels.
According to local media reports, the passengers who were on the plane have been put in isolation as five workers were taken to hospital as a precaution.
Airport operations have not been affected by this incident and flights can operate normally in and out of the busy terminal.
