Abstract: Employees #1 through #8 were pouring a new roof for a furnace used to produce elemental phosphorus. Even though the furnace had been shut down for a few days, it was still warm. Air currents generated carbon monoxide, which escaped through the open roof. The employees were exposed to the carbon monoxide and were hospitalized after developing symptoms such as nausea and disorientation. There were no fatalities.
