Investigation Summary
At 9:30 a.m., Employees #1 through #9 began to experience slight to severe headaches. At 12 noon, police ambulances were called. The employees were taken to Riverside and Hackensack Hospitals, where their blood carbon monoxide levels read as high as 17 percent. The gas utility was called in at 12:30 p.m. and recommended that the building be evacuated. The utility tested for natural gas and carbon monoxide, but found none.
