A woman was injured on Wednesday morning in an accident involving hazardous substances on the campus of Eindhoven University of Technology. The victim received hydrochloric acid in her face, a fire brigade spokesperson said.
Just before ten o’clock on Wednesday morning, he indicated that the victim’s situation was stable and that the fire brigade had handed her over to the ambulance service.
Hydrochloric acid is a very corrosive and aggressive acid and can cause serious burns.
It is not clear what exactly happened. It is also still unclear whether this is an industrial accident that will be investigated by the Labor Inspectorate.
