Kowit Yuwetbamrung, assistant director of the school, said employees of the pool maintenance contractor, S.Napha Co, put hydrochloric acid in the chlorine tank instead of the hydrochloric tank in the school's basement.
Students were overcome by a strong chlorine smell as they were walking to class after morning assembly.
