N.L. college evacuated after spill of picric acid in laboratory
(CP) - 1 day ago

ST. JOHN'S =97 The College of the North Atlantic on Prince Philip Drive in St. John's was evacuated Tuesday following an acid spill in one of the labs.

The spill was detected in a lab on the third floor of the building at about 2:00 p.m. Tuesday.

The school was evacuated and the St. John's Regional Fire Department's hazardous materials team handled the situation.

Supt. Don Byrne says it was a small spill of picric acid, with total quantities being a few ounces.

It was in a liquid form and not the more dangerous crystallized picric acid.

He says there was nobody in the lab at the time.
