LAWRENCE, KAN - A KU graduate student is in critical condition
at Lawrence Memorial Hospital after he is believed to have accidentally
ingested sodium azide, a common but toxic chemical, while working
on the fifth floor of Malott Hall late Wednesday evening.
The student became ill after leaving Malott and going home.
Malott was temporarily evacuated as a precaution.
The KU Environmental Health and Safety office has determined
the lab and the building are safe to enter and occupy.
Sodium azide is a common preservative of samples and stock solutions
in laboratories and a useful reagent in synthetic work.
Ingesting it can lead to abnormal breathing, low blood pressure,
rapid heart beat, pulmonary edema, breathlessness, vomiting,
nausea, diarrhea, restlessness, reduced body temperature, red eyes,
skin burns, lung injury, convulsions, reduced body pH,
respiratory failure, collapse, brain damage, heart damage, and death.
