Subject: Recent Accidents in College Level and beyond Chemistry Lab

Greetings, Our department chair would like a survey of the most recent (past 5 yrs) accidents in a college chemistry laboratory as part of a presentation to the incoming chemistry graduate students. Our students will both assist in teaching the undergraduate labs and begin their research. I am aware of the tragic event regarding Sheri Sangi but not other accidents specific to a Chemistry lab. If you would are willing to share any that you know, I will compile the information and make it available to the DCHAS-L. Thank you, Mary Ellen -- Mary Ellen Scott, PhD.
