Alarm with the toxic powders with tower IBM (Alerte aux poudres toxiques à la tour IBM)
Tower IBM, in particular sheltering the buildings of the SJA of Brussels (legal Service of district), was evacuated Thursday towards 16h00 after an alarm with the toxic powders during which five police officers were wounded, one learned near the federal parquet floor. These five police officers had to receive care at the hospital. They presented the same symptoms as the poisoned people Wednesday by hydrazine and the phénarsazine, namely of irritations to the eyes, the skin and the throat. The spokesman of the federal parquet floor specified that their days were not in danger.One of the reasons which justified the evacuation of Tower IBM, located in the district of Botany in Brussels, is the fact that the toxic powders could have been spread in the building through the air-flues conditioned.
