KU student critical after possible poisoning at school
lab
BY RICK PLUMLEE
The Wichita Eagle
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.
