     I'd be interested in this, too.  I believe there was a fire in a small 
     airstrip building in Alaska which destroyed some stored runway lights. 
     It was studied closely but I can't put my hand on the report.

Howdy neighbors!
     
Some time ago while I was researching H3 exit signs I recall that there was 
a facility, I believe it was a university, that had to close some buildings 
because of H3 contamination from a broken exit sign. Are any of you familiar 
with this case? I'd like to get more details.
     
Also, with the thousands/millions of them out there, surely some must have 
been in fires/accidents that released their contents. Are there any records 
of this? Contamination studies?
     
Thank you in advance. Please contact me directly.
