Less than two weeks after a huge fire in Moss Landing at one of the world’s largest battery storage plants, scientists affiliated with San Jose State University have discovered unusually high levels of toxic metals in soils at Elkhorn Slough,

Santa Cruz County supervisors met to discuss potential toxin spread from the Moss Landing battery plant fire, with residents voicing health concerns and opposition to a new battery storage project.

Research scientists with San Jose State University’s Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML) detected “unusually high concentrations of heavy-metal nanoparticles”

Scientists have linked a lithium battery plant fire in California earlier this month to a surge in heavy metals found in nearby soil.

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.

Jenner modeled Schiaparelli's Spring 2025 Haute Couture collection for Gabrielle Union, Lynda Carter and more starry guests "It's sweet and a turn-on for women." Cartel gunmen exchanged fire with US border patrol agents on Monday while attempting to smuggle illegal migrants across the US-Mexico border.

As one of the largest lithium battery plants in the world continues to smolder in Moss Landing, activists in another Central Coast town are, for now, breathing a sigh of relief.

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.
