-Vistra, owner of the Northern CA Lithium Battery plant, is using CTEH as its contractor to conduct air testing. Controversy has followed CTEH for over a decade as its testing practices and data have been called into question related to BP oil spill, Hurricane Katrina, and more motherjones.com/environment/20…
@StatusCoup The NY Times reported on CTEH and its conflicts of interest related to its BP oil spill air testing: "It's essentially the fox guarding the chicken coop," a former Exxon engineer said about CTEH's air testing archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.co…

The govt response I've seen to the CA Battery plant fire is eerily similar to what I've uncovered with the DECADE-LONG Flint water cover-up. BS/cherry-picked environmental testing, govt & media regurgitate "all clear" results. Get my book for more info
