Bad Chemistry II
The Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Baltimore, Md., was evacuated after a “strange odor” overwhelmed students and staff; several were coughing and reporting difficulty breathing. The fire department responded with its Hazmat team, triaged “dozens” of school employees and students who inhaled the apparently toxic fumes, and transported two students and three adults to a hospital for further treatment.
