More than 100 students and staff members were assessed after a chemical incident at Benson Polytechnic High School in Portland, Oregon, on September 8.
At least seven people needed medical treatment, and the school evacuated the students and staff to nearby athletic fields while people affected by the incident were assessed and treated.
A 15-year-old student was hospitalized in critical condition after reportedly mixing chemicals he had brought from home. Police later clarified that he had inhaled gases produced by the mixture. The authorities initially suspected the gasses included hydrogen sulfide, but the substances have not been officially identified.
