ElkhornslauThe tide area area about 1 mile from the Vistra Energy battery storage facility that was ignited on January 16th. Investigators say that they have observed the concentration of metal, 10 to 100 times higher than the general level of Elkhonz Lau. We are concerned that the flame may have caused more environmental damage than the first shown.
“These three metals are toxic,” said Ivano Ariello, a professor of marine geology leading the sampling process. “They are dangerous for aquatic organisms. We want to understand how they move and exchange. Through the food network, at any level, from microorganisms to sea cigarette, I want to understand what level to make. ” (Related: California officials issue evacuation orders after the world’s largest battery plant caused a fire)

“We appreciate, recognize, recognize the importance of the environmental sampling and tests conducted by Dr. Ivano I Ello’s team, and praise their diligence when reporting the results. Is a highest priority, and is committed to providing a transparent science -based renewal to the community when evaluating the survey results in cooperation with the state and federal partners. ” update From the Monterley County Health Bureau. “Monterey Environmental Sanitation County is currently analyzing soil and water samples, and is working closely with the California Ministry of Public Health, California Environmental Protection Agency, and state epidemics experts. I would like to evaluate the potential health concerns and make a preliminary result in the second half of this week.
Local residents are also collecting their own samples and planning them to send them for independent tests.

Several locals said that symptoms such as sore throat, irritation, headache, and nosebleeds have noticed the symptoms after the fire. Others say they have noticed that their pets were shaking, but one of the locals died after one of his chickens.
In addition, the burned VISTRA battery storage facilities are located in Salinas Valley in California. According to Hunterburok Media, there are a large amount of fruits and vegetables produced there, so it is a region called “American salad bowl”.
vistra Maintain “The ongoing air surveillance has not detected dangerous things,” and quoted the fact that the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and third -party companies did not detect, and livestock in the region, livestock, land. There is no fire. Dangerous chemicals in the air. However, the discovery of Izero and his team could impair the certainty of their conclusions, and some locals argued that they had a respiratory problem a few days after the fire. Masu.
“Surface Sampling is continuously implemented and analyzed by CTEH, a third -party consultant in consultation with the EPA and MONTEREY County Health Bureau. The spokeswoman of Vistra has not received the details of the survey and the data. In the event or after the event, there is no concern in the air. We will continue to cooperate with local health organizations and share additional information when available.
On the other hand, as of Monday, Vistra Energy is planning to build another battery storage facility near Terabella, California. According to To the business journal.
California EPA, US EPA, and Moslanding Marine La Boratries did not respond immediately to comment requests.
