KU student critical after possible poisoning at school lab

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,

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