Charelston, West Virginia- Chemical spill in West Virginia crisis continues so far for almost a week. A number of 300,000 residents are accounted for that have been possibly exposed to the radioactive chemicals. Officials reported that the ban on water may be lifted soon but is ongoing as residents have to bath, wash clothes, brush teeth, cook, clean, and drink with bottled water.
The recent incident has been so bizarre, it has even been compared to the likes of the new Sci-Fi series HELIX. There were already reports of reactions to the chemical spill such as symptoms of nausea, vomiting, severe headaches, fevers and more. Lab testing has been conducted and revealed that toxins are now below contamination levels or decipitated in water samples. Daniel Jones, mayor of West Virginia, is furious with government emergency aides as the question still remains why the chemical spill occurred in the first place. The water is still contaminated and not safe for consumption unless notified by FEMA as testing proceeds. FEMA has directed people to have 3.3 Liters per hour, very controlled in water resources. There have been speculations of the WV chem spill only receiving 20 secs of news coverage, not as much attention, while Chris Christies Washington bridge spectacle is filling up the entire news hour. Many wonder what will FEMAs next steps be? Quarantine residents of freak accident CHEM spills with claims that can change someone into a potential mutant? |
