Four students suffered from nausea and dizziness after they were believed to have inhaled gas from a leaking bunsen burner at Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan USJ 14 in Subang Jaya, Selangor, today.

Selangor Fire and Rescue Department director Norazam Khamis said the incident happened at about 1.20pm when the Standard Five pupils were conducting experiments in the school laboratory.

He said the students were sent to the Shah Alam Hospital and all of them were reported to be in stable condition.

He said rescue personnel were sent to the school to conduct an operation to ensure the school was safe and the environment free from leaking gas.

In a separate incident, Norazam said an 18-year-old teenager was injured in a gas explosion at a restaurant in Jalan Bidara, Saujana Utama 3, Sungai Buloh, Selangor, at about 12.30pm yesterday.

He said a cooking gas leak was believed to have caused the explosion and a small fire which destroyed 30 percent of the premises.

The victim was treated for burns at the Puncak Alam Hospital, he said.
