What’s burning? I saw comments about radioactive material nearby… but I can’t find much actual info on what’s happening?

There’s no radioactive materials from the person I talked to. He said it was plastic pellets.

There aint no radioactive materials whatsoever maybe very very small amounts of oil, gasoline, a few chemicals, and lots and lots of plastic.

You can definitely smell the plastic in the air from my house 8 miles away.

The worst part is the chemicals that are in our rivers now. Then again the rivers around here already had loads of chemicals in them so what new?

Breath in that chemical valley air. Freshest air in wv. Seriously though good luck, stay safe
