The ash — which typically contains traces of arsenic and other toxic materials —


An absolutely meaningless statement. No factual numbers, and no comparison against another material, say, dirt??? Scare tactics from another "reporter".

it's absolute bull-*censored* and fear-mongering. the ash isn't going to be much different from the soil in general in terms of the toxic trace mineral content, it's ph may be a factor to flora and fauna in the watershed, but that's relatively temporary even it was left as a spill and not cleaned up; but, since it's being cleaned up that's not much of a concern at all. these doctors fear-mongering and saying to residents "do you want your property or your health" should be shot for spreading lies and malpractice.
