IN THE COMING WEEKS, Monterey County will be publishing a geo-located visualization map of all the verifiable data collected in and around the Vistra Moss Landing Battery facility since a massive Jan.

"Those three metals are toxic," said Ivano Aiello, a marine geology professor at Moss Landing Marine Labs, who led the soils testing. "They are hazardous to aquatic life. We want to understand how ...

“They are clearly the type of material from a battery, so you can link directly the occurrence increasing of this toxic heavy metal to the source, which is a battery,” Dr. Ivano Aiello, chair of San ...

That's where Ivano Aiello and his team of researchers found high concentrations of heavy metal particles in marsh soils after the battery plant fire. "I can tell you that things are changing, they ...

Ivano Aiello is a professor and chair at Moss Landing Marine Labs, where he’s analyzing soil samples from Elkhorn Slough. “I’ve never measured those metals in such high concentrations,” he said.

The SJSU press statement said Dr. Ivano Aiello and his research team detected “a dramatic increase in marsh soil surface concentration (hundreds to thousandfold) of the three heavy metals.

Aiello said he took samples from roughly 100 sites. He has studied the area for more than 10 years. Analyzing the soils with an electron microscope at Moss Landing labs, he said the spiked levels of ...
