hanno<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/toxic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#toxic</a> stuff: Recently, my shaver broke, and for situations like this, I had an older electric shaver in a box. Which... also didn't work any more, so that didn't help. But curiously, I noted that the older shaver still had a Nickel Cadmium battery. Which is... one of the many toxic things we used to have around us, and we no longer have. and I think this is an underappreciated fact and a success of reasonable regulation. 🧵

MikeDunnAuthorNearly a media Blackout of the Other Major California FireThe lithium battery fire at the Vistra power plant in Moss Landing, Monterey County, California may be the largest ever battery fire anywhere in the world. Lithium fires burn at 2000 F and cannot be easily put out. Lithium does not burn through combustion, as carbon-containing fuels do. Trying to douse them with water only exacerbates the fire and can lead to explosions. And the lithium salts in the batteries are self-oxidizing, which makes them prone to reignite. Lithium fires can produce a variety of toxic gasses, such as Hydrofluoric acid, Hydrogen cyanide, Hydrogen chloride, and Sulfur dioxide.Residents living as far as 20 miles away have been experiencing metallic tastes in their mouths, burning eyes, burning throats, and yellow residues all over their things. The fire’s been going for six days and only now has Governor Newsom decided to launch an investigation. This was the fourth fire at the site since 2019.<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/monterey-county-sheriff-issues-evacuation-orders-due-to-moss-landing-power-plant-fire/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/monterey-county-sheriff-issues-evacuation-orders-due-to-moss-landing-power-plant-fire/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fire</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/california" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#california</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tesla</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#musk</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollution</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environment</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/toxic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#toxic</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lithium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lithium</a>

KSBW reporters saying: "The danger, with this fire, is what you do NOT see." Apparently there is some frustration because Vistra is not giving out much info. Plume is blowing towards Watsonville and Mt. Madonna.

The sprawling abandoned naval base, in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SanFrancisco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SanFrancisco</a>’s southeast waterfront <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Bayview" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bayview</a> neighborhood, is currently the site of the city’s largest real estate development project. The base played a key role in the Cold War nuclear era, when it housed a research institution known as the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NRDL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NRDL</a>], which studied the human health effects of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radiation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#radiation</a>."In Episode 1 of the podcast, we trace the radioactive contamination found in the shipyard soil today back to its origins, with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearBomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NuclearBomb</a> testing in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MarshallIslands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MarshallIslands</a>. We also hear from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalJustice</a> advocates, including one who led a health biomonitoring survey revealing that nearby residents have toxic elements stored in body tissues that match the hazardous chemicals of concern identified at the shipyard."This radio documentary is part of a larger multimedia package stemming from a deep dive into declassified government records produced by the radiation lab in the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s.
