Dangerous chemical fumes caused Loma Linda (Calif.) University Hospital to evacuate all 40 emergency room patients, according to a Los Angeles Times report.
Chemical fumes in the hospital's ventilation system came from materials used to repair the hospital's roof. No patient was hurt from the fumes, and industrial fans were used to clear the fumes from the hospital vents.
