New Data Indicates Elevated Heavy Metal After Vistra Fire.

hntrbrk.com BREAKING: New Data Indicates Elevated Heavy Metal After Vistra Fire

Mounting evidence suggests fire at Vistra facility caused elevated heavy metal concentrations in Monterey Bay area.

“I have lithium in my blood,” Heather Griffin’s voice quivered as she spoke to supporters at a demonstration across from Vistra’s battery storage facility in Monterey County, California, just weeks after a multiday fire at the plant. “I got tested because I had a metallic taste in my mouth and gums, soreness, and my teeth were sore even a week after the fire was put out.”

Important stuff but that quote next to that headline is a massive bit of scientific confusion. The term heavy metal is pretty nonsense and confusing to begin with, but Lithium is typically literally the least heavy metal. Doesn't make it any less often poisonous though.
