Chemical Scare Students Back

STUDENTS were due to resume lectures today following a chemical scare at an Ayrshire college.

Nearly 30 people needed medical treatment after Kilmarnock College was evacuated amid reports of an “odorous irritant” in a stairwell yesterday, as reported in later editions of last night’s Evening Times.

A total of 29 people suffered nausea, sore throats and other symptoms during the scare in which more than 2300 staff and students were evacuated.
