Fourteen construction workers who were renovating a Yale University-owned building were hospitalized for carbon monoxide poisoning on Wednesday. One of the workers was found lying unconscious outside of the building, which is a couple of blocks from Yale's New Haven campus, and was taken to a hospital's hyperbaric chamber in Brooklyn, New York, where he was in critical condition, said Rick Fontana, New Haven's emergency operations director.
