especially:
“During an experiment with bacte
ria in
hydrogen-rich environments, lab personnel turned on the hydrogen supply to
an
anaerobic hood and, because they weren’t familiar with the warning sy
stems,
left the gas on, the fire department’s statement said. Once the gas r
eached an
ignition source, it exploded, according to the news release.”
