West Virginia: Chemical Spill Triggers Nausea and Vomiting Among Residents

Hundreds of people in West Virginia have suffered nausea, vomiting and
other symptoms of chemical exposure since a spill contaminated the public
water supply across nine counties.
.
The chemical spill was the largest single event the West Virginia poison
centre has encountered in 20 years.
.
By 4pm ET on Friday, some 671 residents had called in to the poison centre
with concerns on a wide range of symptoms from chemical exposure, the
centre's director, Elizabeth Scharman, told The Guardian.
.
There were also 54 cases of animal exposure.
.
The number continues to change every minute, Scharman said.
.
She said about half of the callers were reporting symptoms of exposure.
They are complaining of some nausea, vomiting, some dizziness, headaches,
diarrhoea, reddening skin, itches and rashes," she said. There are
different complains from a little bit annoying to a little bit more
significant.
.
A small number of callers were directed to hospital emergency rooms.
.
The chemical spill was believed to have contaminated the public water
supply for 300,000 people, and West Virginians were told on Friday they
would not be allowed to drink, bathe, or even wash their clothes in tap
water for an indefinite period.
.
The White House issued a federal disaster declaration for the state, and
the US attorney in West Virginia said federal authorities were opening an
investigation into the causes of the spill.
.
The chemical leak at Freedom Industries was discovered by inspectors from
the state department of environmental protection on Thursday morning,
after residents of Charleston and surrounding areas complained of a
strange, sweet smell.
.
The company did not formally report the spill, of a chemical used to
process coal, until about an hour after the inspectors' visit, the
Department of Environmental Protection said.
.
The plant lies just one mile upstream on the Elk River from a water
treatment plant.
