Two seniors at West Roxbury High School were taken to the hospital this morning after spilling sulfuric acid in a classroom experiment, a school spokesman said.
The seniors were wearing goggles and protective equipment when they accidentally spilled sulfuric acid onto themselves at 9:15 a.m., said Jonathan Palumbo, a spokesman for Boston Public Schools.
A teacher called 911 and the students were treated on the scene. As a precaution, the students were taken to Faulkner Hospital by ambulance, where they are in good condition, Palumbo said.
The school was not evacuated and the incident did not cause a major disruption in the school day, Palumbo said.
