A large part of the forecourt of the Jeroen Bosch Hospital in Den Bosch has been closed off for a while. Moments earlier, an employee in the engine room of the fountain saw a barrel of sulfuric acid that was bulging, presumably due to a chemical reaction with another substance.
The hospital says on Facebook that the employee suffered respiratory complaints and is being cared for at the Emergency Department.
Employees of the fire brigade entered the room in special suits and removed several barrels. These will later be collected by a specialized company. The hospital itself was accessible.
