CO2 poisoning from doing an experiment in an unventilated class it seems like.
Makes you wonder what the air quality is like on days when you’ve got 20 people breathing in there all day.
Not good. I bought a CO2 sensor for my lounge out of curiosity. I can see when I get home, because the levels immediately start climbing. My house is old and not well sealed, a new classroom with more people is gonna be worse.
Heh. My JHS Science Teacher knew how to fuck up experiments. His demonstration of a chemical reaction, with sodium and water, was quite explosive.
As the Local 12 news outlet added, the students and their teacher were treated for carbon dioxide poisoning — which makes sense, given that dry ice is just CO2 frozen solid.
Who writes articles like that? It reads like someone’s Reddit comment injected into it.
chatgpt, most likely
Haha. I saw that in the condensed version and thought someone put that in. But yeah, it’s in the actual article. I agree with your comment.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Fearing a “mass casualty incident,” as the Sumner County Emergency Medical Service said in a statement relayed to local reporters, first responders ranging from the fire department to the sheriff and police were brought to the school.
Nineteen people, including 18 students and one teacher, were eventually taken to the hospital, and the kids’ parents were notified.
As the Local 12 news outlet added, the students and their teacher were treated for carbon dioxide poisoning — which makes sense, given that dry ice is just CO2 frozen solid.
In an interview with WKRN, the parents of one of the kids who got sick during the incident seemed very ticked off about the way the school handled the situation.
“The most information I have gotten at this point is out of a 9-year-old that is not feeling well,” disgruntled dad Ben Amboy told the local news.
Amboy urged the Sumner County school district to step up its communication game during emergencies, which sounds like a polite Southern way of saying its officials need to get their act together.
