Coal Ash Spill | Beasley Allen
Coal-fired power plants produce coal ash and other toxic waste byproducts. The toxic waste contains such heavy metals as arsenic, lead, barium, chromium and manganese, which have been shown to cause cancer, liver damage, and neurological complications. This hazardous material is usually stored on site at the facilities in retention ponds or dams. A failure in the dam s retaining wall, or an overflow, can result in an environmental disaster contaminating surrounding waterways, soil, and wildlife, and endangering human health and life.
