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,

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

Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) on Thursday grilled Department of Health and Human Services secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on his history of claiming Black Americans have a better immune system than white people.

One of the world’s biggest battery plants is located in a tiny harbor town perched halfway between Santa Cruz and Monterey. A fire ignited January 16

A study by San Jose State University of the soils around the Moss Landing Power Plant shows a heavy concentration of toxic heavy metals.

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

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.
