Results of Preliminary Testing of Tennessee Ash Spill
Although TVA has yet to release results of testing, activists have. Here is an interview with scientists from Appalachian State University. Each segment is about 10 minutes long, but the upshot is that things are really bad. There are eight toxic chemicals, toxic for people, fish, and many other beings living in Tennessee. The tests showed levels of arsenic 30 - 300 times higher than normal, lead 2 - 21 times, thallium 3 - 4 times.
