Small chemical blast injures two students
 From Staff Reports

CHAPEL HILL - Two students were taken to UNC Hospitals with minor  
injuries Tuesday afternoon after "a small explosion" in a UNC-Chapel  
Hill laboratory.
The students were discarding two chemicals in Kenan Labs when the  
explosion occurred at 3:53 p.m., said university spokeswoman Lisa  
Katz. One student had a cut above the right eye. The other had no  
visible injuries, she said.

Katz did not know what chemicals were being discarded but said the  
explosion was contained and the building was evacuated.
