A hazardous materials team, along with other emergency officials, responded Thursday afternoon to North Shore Medical Center in Salem.
A large section of the hospital was roped off, but no evacuations were made.
Officials say a patient claiming to have been exposed to a hazardous material was taken to the hospital, prompting an emergency response. They say the material turned out to be pesticides.
No injuries were reported.
No additional details were immediately available.
