This PRECAUTION goes to all other people who have one thing or the other to do with chemical which are fatal when contacted.

It was a tragic accident at the yellow house building of Obafemi Awolowo University when one of the lab assistant dies shortly after a chemical known as AMINOBENZENE also known as ANILINE poured on him at the yellow house where part one chemistry practicals often hold.

Another story said, the man was at White house which also house another laboratory for part 1 students. So the man put the chemical in his pocket on his way back to Yellow house when there was no longer space to hold them. He was said to have done this to prevent himself from going twice. On the way, the chemical leaked through the opening as he was moving and poured on him. It was after he got yellow house he realized what had just happened. The chemical entered his blood stream and was taken to the hospital after suffering serious medical issues. He died few days later. May his sold rip.

R.I.P

Safety first in whatever we do.

Seun I wanna congratulate that great nairalander Fynestboi for emerging as the winner of the secretary general election of the GREAT IFE STUDENTS' UNION. COngrat oo fynest

Acute aniline exposure can cause confusion, ringing in the ears, weakness, disorientation, dizziness, impaired gait, lethargy drowsiness, convulsions, loss of consciousness, and coma. These effects are usually transitory and probably secondary to lack of oxygen.

Exposure to aniline may occur from breathing contaminated outdoor air, smoking tobacco, or working or being near industries where it is produced or used. The acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) effects of aniline in humans consist mainly of effects on the lung, such as upper respiratory tract irritation and congestion. Chronic exposure may also result in effects on the blood. Human cancer data are insufficient to conclude that aniline is a cause of bladder tumors while animal studies indicate that aniline causes tumors of the spleen. EPA has classified aniline as a Group B2, probable human carcinogen.

Rip dude

Rip dude

He is an elderly man oh not a dude.

One need to be careful when handling these chemicals that is the purpose of this post @ lalasticlala. Some of those chemicals in the lab may look harmless, attractive or even with a nice smell. But some are dangerous esp Benzene derivatives like Phenol, aniline, benzoic acid etc. Many part 1 students got scared after this sudden death of this man. And were scared to touch the chemicals.

too bad...RIP

Motherfvcking aromatic amine,
this guy no dey see erythrocyte 4 face, na termination straight and when red blood cell no dey body cadiac arrest fit set in

this stvpid chemical na hell of a badas$, exposure to d vapour sef is sumtin else, na to go find galon of water dey wash face...

One of d major reason wey i always choose to wash apparatus before practical session and after dat, my participation is over for d group... no b mah fault, dem go tell u sample a, b, c...
u no knw which one wey fit end ur career if not properly handled...

it aint easy being a chemist...
shoutout to all lab tech in all institution...una weldone sir
R.I.P to dis great man once again, i pray may ur gentle soul rest in perfect peace..

ipobbigot7:
RIP.

Good you modified it.

Let them check for another cause of death; I am not sure this level of exposure was sufficient to kill him; unless of course he ingested it or injected into his blood but otherwise mere skin contact isn't sufficient - the death is most likely coincidental.

God rest him.. As a lab attendant, he should know better..

damn

From my experience so far, safety in Nigerian institutions is zero. No safety training, no safety data sheets, no standard operating procedures for chemical handling, no waste management; they wash everything down the drain.
All they do is wear lab coats,lol.
RIP to the man

who his death EPP ?
