[quote=LIONPOWER,237236]Local police in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province on June 12 arrested a college student on suspicion of lacing water drunk by three classmates with highly toxic Thallium, the Nanjing-based Modern Express reported today(Zhang Yunxing, June 20, 2007).

On June 1, three students, all freshmen from the China University of Mining and Technology's Xuhai College (CUMT), were hospitalized after feeling nauseous and vomiting. They had all dined the day before with a classmate in the university's canteen. 
	
Treatment at several hospitals proved inconclusive with initial diagnosis attributing the illness to lime disease or arthritis. As their condition worsened, on June 8, the students were transferred to larger cities. One was moved to Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei, while two others flew to Beijing for treatment.

On June 10, the China Center for Disease Prevention and Control identified a poisonous substance, thallium, as being present in their samples.

The student in Hebei remains in stable condition but his family refused to speak with the media. The other two at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital are recovering well but are still suffering from liver failure, according to a statement from the hospital. Urine tests revealed the thallium level in their bodies was 1,000 times higher than normal. However, this has been reduced to about 100 times after a week of treatment. "It will take at least two months to recover," said Hao Fengtong, director of Occupational Disease Department of the hospital.
