Description
Status Coup’s Jordan Chariton speaks with hazardous waste expert and former fire battalion chief Sil Caggiano about the massive chemical warehouse fire in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and the growing concerns over toxic fallout. As residents report black rain, ash, and debris falling onto their homes, Caggiano explains what may have been released into the air, the potential long-term health risks, and why communities often pay the price long after the headlines fade.
