On Monday, a strong odor in a chemistry classroom at Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School prompted evacuation and a hazmat response. Sixteen students and their teacher reported dizziness, but no chemical spill was found. Seven students were transported to the hospital for further evaluation while others were picked up by parents. Authorities investigated the odor but found no unusual readings, allowing the school's building to reopen. Classes are expected to resume on Tuesday, with an ongoing investigation into the source of the smell.
"We are extremely thankful that no one was seriously injured as a result of this incident."
"During the investigation, firefighters did not detect any unusual readings in the building, and the Taunton Board of Health approved the building's reopening."
