Following an incident in Charles Road, Durrington, yesterday afternoon, the emergency services response has been stood down after tests were found to be negative.
The road was closed and a cordon was put in place when a man reported to be ill after coming into contact with a substance.
The ambulance service assessed a man in his 40s at the scene and did not require hospital treatment.
The cordon, which was put in place at the address on Charles Road, was lifted in the early hours of Saturday morning (29th March).
