bittenyakka:
what was it and how did it get in a classroom?

Alan (Big Al):
What it was, a student broke a mercury thermometer when broken it gave off very pungent odour (possibly from a gas called creone Sp???) causing headaches and nausea to 7 students who were taken to the local medical centre.

The spill was cleaned by MFS and Burnside with some extra mercury spill kit having to come from Christie Downs MFS.

We returned to the scene this afternoon and a small bit of the odour was still present so it's up to the school now as to what to do.

water boy:
I thought Strathalbyn HazMat and Willunga HazMat might have been called up as well. Couldn't have been too big.

Alan (Big Al):
MFS were responded because they were closer and at the time didn't need a second HAZMAT there, and burnside went because they had a vacuum cleaner suitable for the job, but getting them and christies involved was the call of the RO that was liasing with us and that later came to the scene.
