Oh, by the way, says Freedom Industries, there was a second chemical leaking from that tank

Chemicals, schemicals, you can't expect Freedom Industries to keep track of all of them.Federal and state investigators learned today that an additional chemical that wasn't previously identified was in the tank that leaked on Jan. 9 at the Freedom Industries tank farm just upstream from West Virginia American Water's regional drinking water intake.The chemical, the company claims, has "low oral toxicity."Company officials told investigators that the "Crude MCHM" that spilled also contained a product called "PPH," which stands for polyglycol ethers, according to the U.S. Chemical Safety Board.
Uh-huh. And it's probably as safe for pregnant women as the other stuff they spilled into the Elk River.
