Another Need in the Aftermath of Sandy: Toxic Soup Testing
In
Hurricane Sandy's aftermath, government agencies have acted quickly to
save lives and restore power and other basic essentials for those
impacted by the storm. As recovery continues, federal and state agencies
will be addressing another growing problem: the noxious materials such
as oil, toxic chemicals, and raw sewage that the storm has released into
waterways. The health of residents and first responders will depend on
knowing what's around them so they can take proper precautions and
mitigate risks.
