Chemicals, schemicals, you can't expect Freedom Industries to keep track of all of them.

reports:
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.
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.
The chemical, the company claims, has "low oral toxicity."
Uh-huh. And it's probably as safe for pregnant women as the other stuff they spilled into the Elk River.
