Post: Receding waters leave toxic mixPosted by Sharon on 9/16/08
GALVESTON, Texas: As the search continued here for people
killed or stranded by Hurricane Ike, the authorities said
Monday that they were faced with much larger challenges
than simply clearing roadways and restoring electricity
before they could let residents back onto this debris-
strewn island.
The sludge left in homes and on roads as floodwaters recede
represents a "toxic soup" of mud, human waste, asbestos,
lead and gasoline that poses serious health risks and must
be removed before people return, they said.
