Before the incident

Driving maintenance cart

What happened

I was driving a cart through machine shop doors and towards the digester area. As I turned the corner next to 1 digester a cloud a vapor came out. I continued driving and immediately felt short of breath after inhaling the vapor. I went outside for fresh air then continued to next job. The digester operator was notified of the leak and danger taped off the area. Within 30 minutes I was still feeling shortness of breath and coughing. Paper mill shift supervisor was called and administered oxygen in Nurse 's station. Ambulance transported to hospital for additional care.
