The Monterey County Department of Health has conducted testing around the Moss Landing Battery Plant following a fire incident, focusing on the presence of heavy metals like cobalt, manganese, copper, and nickel. Preliminary findings show elevated levels of these metals, particularly at Site 8, which has raised concerns over the impact of the fire on local soil. Officials emphasize that these results are preliminary and more comprehensive evaluations are pending, showcasing the ongoing effort to understand environmental risks post-fire.
The preliminary results suggest that emissions from the lithium battery fire impacted surface soil in and around Site 8, where all four heavy metals exceeded screening levels in XRF Scan 4.
These are screening results, they're not to be taken as final results or a final conclusion,
