In early January, thousands
of gallons of a toxic chemical leaked into West Virginia’s Elk River.
The accident caused the contamination of the water supply in nine
counties. Earlier this month, a broken pipe owned by Duke Energy leaked
toxic coal ash into North Carolina’s Dan River. And two weeks later, a
second leak from a different pipe spilled more arsenic-laced chemicals
into the river. While the water ban has been lifted in West Virginia,
thousands refuse to drink the water. And in North Carolina, tests of
river water show high levels of iron and aluminum. Diane and guests
discuss recent chemical spills and ongoing concerns over the safety of
the U.S. water supply.
