POISONING (TOXIC MATERIALS) at Lhoist North America of Virginia, Inc.
A miner was loading the heading with explosives, when EE started smelling ammonia and got a headache. As EE started loading the lifters, EE began to feel sick. Two other miners in the area noticed the ammonia like smell in the area. Initial indications are that ANFO may have reacted with waste lime kiln dust in the same work area.
