Suspected carbon monoxide leak leads to hospitalization of 43 from Montreal school
MONTREAL — A suspected carbon monoxide leak at a Montreal primary school led to the hospitalization of 35 children and eight adults Monday.
A spokesman for the ambulance service said students at Ecole des Decouvreurs in the city’s LaSalle neighbourhood reported nausea, dizziness and vomiting. Between 15 and 20 people, including one adult, were initially affected.
But after the school was evacuated and children were moved to a neighbouring school, another wave of children and teachers complained of symptoms.
