West Virginia Chemical Spill Spurs Long-Term Health Study

The odor in drinking water lingering more than a month after a chemical
spill in West Virginia is prompting officials to test homes and consider
the potential long-term health effects from exposure.
.
After initial resistance, Governor Earl Ray Tomblin named Andrew Whelton
from the University of South Alabama to test water from 10 Charleston-area
homes to see if chemical residues are still present. The first batch of
samples was shipped to laboratories today, and evidence of the chemicals
distinctive licorice odor has been found in at least one home, Whelton
said.
.
Separately, the local county health commissioner, Rahul Gupta, said his
office will begin studying possible long-term health effects of exposure
to the chemical used in coal processing, known as Crude MCHM, especially
for signs of birth defects or cancer.
.
There are more unanswered questions for us to state either way that the
water is safe, Gupta said in an interview. We need to find the long-term
consequences from exposure.
.
The Jan. 9 leak of Crude MCHM and some related chemicals used to clean
coal triggered the largest do-not-use order by the West Virginia water
utility, covering 300,000 people in the capital and nine nearby counties.
Whelton said the disaster is unprecedented in its scope and severity.

Oversight Gaps
CDC Encouraged
It is encouraging at this point that we do not see indications that
long-term health effects are a likely outcome of this incident, Bernadette
Burden, a spokeswoman for the Atlanta-based agency, said today in an
e-mail.
Not Normal
Health advocates say the odor may signal that something is amiss in the
water. The risks of showering and inhaling fumes released from hot water
may be an added worry, said Jennifer Sass, a senior scientist at the
Natural Resources Defense Council.
