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.

Researchers find heavy metals in sensitive habitat near Moss Landing battery fire site, a group of locals collect 125 samples for independent testing.

Monterey County firefighters on Friday said they were monitoring Vistra Energy's fire-damaged lithium-ion battery facility for flare-ups as an atmospheric river moved through the region.

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

Scientists at San José State University said Monday that after the huge fire this month, they found unusually high levels of nickel, manganese and cobalt in the Elkhorn Slough.

Elevated concentrations of heavy metals have been detected at the Elkhorn Slough Reserve by scientists from San Jose State University’s Moss Landing Marine Laboratories 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.

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