A man is in critical condition after being exposed to carbon dioxide at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
According to the Los Angeles Fire Department , the man and three other workers were in an electrical room that was emitting carbon dioxide. The gas is used to extinguish electrical fires by removing oxygen from an area.
LAFD reported that three people were able to make it out of the room and are OK, but a 36-year-old man went into cardiac arrest.“The good news is that individual had a return of spontaneous circulation. What that means, they’re breathing. Their blood is pumping on their own now," said LAFD Capt. Erik Scott.Scott said the leak did not occur in an area where passengers would frequent. However, Terminal 8 was shut down for much of the morning.
