WIRE CABLES ARE LEACHING CHEMICALS INTO LAKE TAHOE STUDY FINDS 😡😭
ACCORDINBG TO COPILOT:
Yes, Lake Tahoe has been found to have lead pollution, primarily due to old underwater telephone cables left behind by AT&T’s Pacific Bell Telephone Company. These cables, which contain significant amounts of lead, have been leaching toxic lead into the lake for decades.
Recent investigations have revealed alarmingly high levels of lead in certain areas of the lake, such as Emerald Bay, where lead concentrations exceeded the Environmental Protection Agency’s limits for drinking water by over 2,500 times. Efforts are underway to remove these cables and mitigate the pollution
