Nickel, cobalt and manganese, found in lithium-ion batteries, increased dramatically at Elkhorn Slough after the fire

Residents living near a power plant in Central California were ordered to evacuate Thursday night after a fire broke out at the facility.

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

In the wake of the Moss Landing lithium battery plant fire, another coastal Calif. town tells Texas company to go away for good.

The sight of the Moss Landing battery storage facility was originally opened in 1950 as a power plant. It was one of the largest power plants on the West Coast at the time.

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.

Cartel gunmen exchanged fire with US border patrol agents on Monday while attempting to smuggle illegal migrants across the US-Mexico border.

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.
