Birling Gap beach was evacuated on Sunday [August 27] after people reported breathing difficulties, stinging eyes and vomiting when a "mist" appeared.
Sussex Police said on Monday morning the gas cloud appeared to have cleared.
Agencies are investigating the cause and have not ruled out either on-shore or off-shore locations.
In the past, chemicals have drifted across from European industrial units, but Sussex Police said: "Weather models suggest that an onshore source in northern France is very unlikely."
The Coastguard said it was working with its French counterparts and looking into vessels that were in the area at the time.
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said it was "extremely unlikely" the substance involved was chlorine.
First it was a sonic attack on US diplomats in Cuba, now potentially a chemical attack on British beach goers. What gives?

I wish it was as laughably bad as Under The Dome was, but quite frankly it doesn't ever get there. The characters are all just hatable jerks I cannot care about. I only watch to in the hopeful event the mist claims all of them in horribly painful and drawn out death.

I can't speak to the TV show, but I thought the movie was good. Great ending.
