Multiple students at Lipscomb University were taken to the hospital for possible chemical burns on Thursday.

According to Nashville Fire, two students had allergic reactions with possible burns in the McFarland Building on the 4th floor.

At this time, there's no word on the student's condition.

Last night while conducting a routine lab experiment, three students came in contact, on their hands, with a substance identified as n-Bromosuccinimide (NBS). Out of an abundance of caution, the three students were transported last night to a medical facility for an examination of the skin irritation. They were evaluated, cared for, released last night and are back on campus today and attending classes as scheduled.
