Freedom Industries Won't Say Just What 2nd Leaked Chemical Is - It's Proprietary, You See

[hatrack]

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Federal and state officials scrambled Wednesday for more information following the surprise disclosure Tuesday that an additional chemical was also in the tank that spilled Crude MCHM into the Elk River public drinking water supply two weeks ago.

Freedom Industries disclosed the information to state and federal regulators on Tuesday morning, but health impacts of the chemical remain unclear, and Freedom Industries has claimed the exact identify of the substance is "proprietary."

In an email to state officials Tuesday night and a press statement this morning, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control noted that data about the potential health effects of the chemical "PPH" are -- like the information on Crude MCHM -- "very limited."

CDC spokeswoman Barbara Reynolds said Wednesday that information thus far indicates that PPH is probably less toxic than Crude MCHM, and officials have said they believe that West Virginia American Water's treatment system was likely able to remove the PPH from the water.

2. Probably less toxic ?

Waters ok to drink but we don't know what all was released, oh wait maybe pregnant women shouldn't drink it.
Now the company won't say what the unknown chemical is.
What's wrong here?
This is wrong from the top down. Our political system is owned by corporations.
Money buys the way they vote.
