TVA Update: Dad's Toxicology Report is In

My Dad called today. His toxicology report came in. He asked that I not form an opinion until he can have the results explained to him and has had the opportunity to consult with his personal doctor and a specialist.

So, I won't form an opinion. I will merely state what he read to me over the phone. Some of you may have questions, but I don't have answers. I don't know what it means and I'm not going to pretend I know what it means. But, I will tell you that when I hear words like:

'indicates high exposure,'
'red zone' and
'95 percent Arsenic,'

I feel: rage.

Remember when TVA said they were going to make people not only 'whole,' but 'happy?'
Remember when TVA said the ash was 'inert'?
Remember when TVA said the ash wasn't 'toxic'?
Remember when Governor Bredesen stood next to TVA CEO Tom Kilgore and said he didn't think people should be afraid of the stuff?
Remember when TVA said air quality was 'safe'?

I do; I remember.

I've told my Dad, not asked, but told my Dad he needs to leave. He has to get out. I've begged him to come stay with me until this whole thing settles.

But he has Doctor appointments.

He wants answers.

And he doesn't want to leave, in case TVA calls.

The TVA disaster was 6 weeks and 3 days ago.

Here are the results of Dad's testing...
Indicates high exposure in the "red zone"
94% Mercury
96% Beryllium
95% Lead

Hair testing...
Indicates high exposure in the "red zone"
94% Aluminum
95+% Antimony
95% Arsenic
97.5% Titanium

There was also urine and blood tests which showed high exposure to several other elements. My dad has someone looking at the results tonight to see if she can interpret what it means.

I invite you to leave your comments below. If this were your father, would you be concerned????
