Less than two weeks after a huge fire in Moss Landing at one of the world’s largest battery storage plants, scientists affiliated with San Jose State University have discovered unusually high levels of toxic metals in soils at Elkhorn Slough,

Santa Cruz County address concerns after Moss Landing battery plant fire

Vistra responds to San Jose State's finding of a heavy metal spike in soils near their Moss Landing battery storage facility.

Research scientists with San Jose State University’s Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML) detected “unusually high concentrations of heavy-metal nanoparticles”

Two Pensacolians went out Thursday to shoot photos of an eerie, empty Escambia Bay Bridge. They got something equally strange instead. Border Patrol agents were reportedly shot at by suspected cartel gunmen attempting to transport illegal migrants across the US-Mexican border.

Scientists have linked a lithium battery plant fire in California earlier this month to a surge in heavy metals found in nearby soil.

Elevated concentrations of heavy metals have been detected at the Elkhorn Slough Reserve by scientists following a recent fire at Vistra Moss Landing Power Plant and Energy Storage Facility.

A group of researchers says they have found high concentrations of heavy metals in a California estuary near the site of a major fire that destroyed a battery storage facility south of San Francisco earlier in January.
