🚨EMERGENCY NOTICE FOR NC RESIDENTS AND VOLUNTEERS🚨: North Carolina Soil Report Shows Contamination with Isopropyltoluene and Trimethylbenzene
🚨EMERGENCY NOTICE FOR NC RESIDENTS AND VOLUNTEERS🚨: North Carolina Soil Report Shows Contamination with Isopropyltoluene and Trimethylbenzene
SHARE THIS FAR AND WIDE! 135 Contaminants Tested. Isopropyltoluene is Highly Toxic, Irreversible Damage to Skin, Lungs, Gut. Wear Protective Gear!
ALSO: MAY CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE SKIN, LUNGS, AND GUT. Wear Protective Gear.
We had reports that cadaver dogs and goats have died from the contaminated mud. Horses have gotten sick, as have people who have dug in the mud.
Shawn Hendrix has lung problems from the area contamination, and now he has confirmed the soil in the area is contaminated.
🚨SOIL TEST RESULTS 🚨
MountainTrue’s soil tests in Marshall Helene bring a mix of relief and caution. Out of 135 pollutants tested, only two were found isopropyltoluene and trimethylbenzene. French Broad Riverkeeper Hartwell Carson confirmed trimethylbenzene, associated with petroleum, was present in low levels, though cleanup crews are advised to avoid prolonged contact with mud, sludge, and dust due to potential health risks (News-Record & Sentinel).
Despite early rumors, there’s no evidence that sludge is burning through clothing, but Carson has reported significant pollution in the French Broad River: overturned gas tanks, sewage discharge, and hundreds of PVC pipes from a nearby factory (MountainTrue). E. coli levels currently remain manageable, but additional sediment tests and further rainfall could alter these results. Encouraging news, but ongoing environmental and health concerns require caution as cleanup continues (NC DEQ).
I am still very much fighting my lung infection so know I know its from the dust. It may not be as bad as the rumors but we know its bad enough NC DEQ says be cautious!

Contaminants: Isopropyltoluene And Trimethylbenzene
This is soil from one area, and we don't have the entire list of 135 compounds tested for, i.e., whether radioactive material was included.
These two were found, and we don't know how high the levels were:
1. Isopropyltoluene
Emphases are mine.
HIGHLY TOXIC! DON’T TOUCH, SWALLOW, OR BREATHE THIS IN. MAY CAUSE PERMANENT LUNG DAMAGE.
Isopropyltoluene, also known as 4-Isopropyltoluene or p-Cymene, is an industrial chemical used in the manufacture of paint, furniture, and other consumer goods.[1] It has also been found in sewage sludge.[2]
It is a highly toxic chemical with very serious irreversible effects through inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed.[3]

🚨This Report Reinforces the Need for Respirators, Heavy Boots, Gloves, Goggles, Biohazard Jumpers, and Protective Gear🚨
It seems reasonable to preliminarily conclude that some with lung damage may experience it permanently. Our hurricane residents, first responders, volunteers, health care providers, drivers, rad builders must ALL be advised of this contamination.
🚨Please message me if you need supplies or can deliver them.🚨
If you haven't yet had a chance to send supplies or funds as a donation, please do take some time to get them to people who don't even know that they need to protect themselves.
Some areas may not be hit by these same contaminants, and others may have much more than what was found here, including radioactive material. Soil samples should go out from each general area, and a homeowner may want to get their own soil samples taken.
