Phone duty received anonymous notification on Sunday, March 4, of a potential release from the University of North Texas Research Lab in Denton, TX.

Caller complained of a "acid" smell in the air, which caused burning of the eyes and lungs.

OSC was dispatched to the area to investigate. A driving survey of the area did not reveal any unusual odors.

Additionally, the guard on-scene of the facility had been on duty all day and had not noticed any odors. Discussions with personnel in the facility also turned up negative.

No further action is necessary at this time.
