here is a good article about cleanup workers for the Tennessee coal ash spill

quote:

The list was long even in the early days after the spill: arsenic, beryllium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, zinc, cadmium, selenium, thallium, antimony, silver and vanadium oxide. It would grow longer.

Worse, when that sludge started drying out, it turned to fly ash – dust laden with those chemicals in concentrated forms and in tiny particles that once inhaled would lodge deep in the lungs.

He reported to work in 2010 a healthy man. He died in 2015 after he was diagnosed with lung and adrenal cancer. His wife of nearly three decades watched his symptoms progress even as he continued working in the stuff she believes killed him.

“I told him, you need to get away from that place,” Angie Shelton said.

He died shortly after taking a lay-off slip.

The latest models put Charlotte in the rain bands, getting less than 6" of water, but I'm really hoping that Florence will wipe Raleigh off the map and NC is forced to move the capital to Charlotte. Right now Raleigh is projected to get nearly 2' of rain.
