BUSAN, Sept. 15 (Yonhap) -- Two Russian crew members were left in cardiac arrest and two others injured Tuesday after Freon gas leaked aboard a Russian fishing boat docked at a port in South Korea's southeastern city of Busan, local authorities said.

Police and firefighting authorities said they received a report of the incident at 8:37 a.m. aboard the 769-ton fishing boat carrying 15 crew members. A total of 40 police and firefighting personnel were deployed to the scene to inspect the vessel and surrounding areas for additional damage and casualties.

Freon gas, widely used as a refrigerant in air conditioners and refrigerators, has a low level of toxicity, but inhaling the gas in confined spaces can lead to asphyxiation.

Authorities said they are investigating the exact cause of the accident.

釜山，9月15日（韩联社）——当地政府称，周二，一艘停靠在韩国东南部城市釜山港口的俄罗斯渔船发生氟利昂气体泄漏事故，造成两名俄罗斯船员心脏骤停，另有两人受伤。

警方和消防部门表示，他们于上午8点37分接到报警，称一艘载有15名船员的769吨渔船发生事故。共派出40名警务和消防人员前往现场，检查船只及周边区域，以确定是否存在其他损失和人员伤亡。

氟利昂气体广泛用作空调和冰箱的制冷剂，其毒性较低，但在密闭空间吸入该气体会导致窒息。

当局表示，他们正在调查事故的确切原因。
