Insecticide and School ?
Ottawa School to reopen doors
Students at Charles H. Hulse Public School will return to their regular classes today, more than a month after the elementary school was closed due to an insecticide that made some students and staff sick. The school has been undergoing renovations to remove insecticide residue. Some parents say they’re still upset with how the public board handled the situation. The school was closed three days after two dozen students and seven staff members started experiencing symptoms including watery eyes, itchy ears and nausea. On April 11, the school had been sprayed with Konk 400, an insecticide containing the chemical Propoxur. The chemical is intended for outdoor use and should not be used indoors, according to a Health Canada re-evaluation of the chemical done in 2014. School board officials are reviewing procedures to ensure similar incidents involving insecticides don’t happen again.
