11:59Now PlayingIndependent reporter Tina-Desiree Berg covered a community meeting in Castroville, California where residents expressed their growing concerns weeks after the massive Vistra Lithium Battery Plant fire spread toxic chemicals as far as 50 to 100 miles and sickened residents with nosebleeds, headaches, burning lungs, chemical burns, dizziness, breathing problems, metallic taste in mouth, and more. In this clip, Tina speaks with two local farmers about the growing concern that the toxic chemicals released during the fire may have contaminated local crops in the nearby "Salad Bowl of America"—the farming area that produces 70% of Americans' vegetables (and a lot of our fruits).
