Toxic Gas Alarm, 5/14/07

[Mary Tang]

Hi all --

As you may know, a toxic gas alarm went off and caused evacuation of the 
lab (though not the building.)  It appears that it wasn't an actual 
toxic that was detected, but rather that the burnbox which treats the 
exhaust from the LP furnaces may have been overloaded.  The LPCVD 
furnaces have been shutdown on Coral until the burnbox can be 
investigated.  Otherwise, the lab is safe to occupy.
