In a science lab at an elementary school in Seo-gu, Busan, a small explosion occurred during a chemistry experiment, injuring three male elementary students.


According to the fire authorities on the 21st, during a gifted science class at the elementary school, hydrogen was generated by reacting dilute hydrochloric acid with zinc pieces, and the hydrogen in a chemistry glass beaker suddenly exploded.



Due to the explosion's impact, shards of the beaker flew, causing one of the three students to have a finger torn about 1 cm, and he was transported to the hospital. The other two students suffered minor scratches on their faces and were treated on-site before returning home.
