A University of Kansas graduate student is in critical condition at a Lawrence 
hospital this morning, the result of a suspected accidental sodium azide 
poisoning that may have occurred while he was working in a lab late 
Wednesday night, school officials said.

As a precaution, Malott Hall, where the lab is located, was temporarily 
evacuated early today and was inspected by KU's Office of Environment, 
Health and Safety. The building later was reopened.

The university also sent text and e-mail messages to students, faculty and 
staff this morning to notify them of the situation.
