UK chemistry graduate student poisoned by thallium, arsenic | The Safety Zone: Several UK news outlets this week reported that a Southampton University chemistry graduate student, reportedly a 25-year-old man, is hospitalized for poisoning by thallium and arsenic. “The 25-year old had been feeling ill for around three weeks and is now being treated at a specialist toxicology unit in Cardiff,” according to Chemistry World. The chemistry building had been closed since the evening of Sept. 12, but on Tuesday, Sept. 18, the university reopened all but “one level which is still part of the ongoing Police investigation,” a university spokesman told C&EN European Correspondent Sarah Everts in an e-mail.
