Abstract: On September 12, 1991, Employees #1 through #9 noticed exhaust odors that caused them to become dizzy and nauseous, and their eyes and throats to burn. All were transported to the hospital, where they were treated and released. The exhaust odors were worse outside the building and evidently the fumes were pulled in from the outside through the HVAC system. Employee #10 smelled rotten eggs off and on all day.
