Original Toronto Star caption: Given oxygen: Workers from a North York firm receive oxygen from ambulance attendants after being cleared from the plant yesterday morning. The toxic gas was created when a worker mixed two chemicals; thinking them to be the same. The resulting gas infiltrated the ventilation system. Plant officials plan to test the air Monday before the plant reopens.
