Tens of thousands of people living in and around the Martinez Refinery Company still don’t know for certain if—or to what extent—they were poisoned last November.But five months after 24 tons of toxic, dusty residue from gasoline, diesel and jet fuel flowing through the refinery first showered down on its next-door neighbors, new soil samples collected this week may finally confirm what dangers still linger there by late May or early June, county health officials announced Thursday.Last Thanksgiving, the company posted on Facebook that the fine white substance that blanketed cars, porches and plants over the holiday was from a “non-toxic”, “non-hazardous” and “naturally occurring” catalyst dust expelled from its facility on the edge of town.But within a few days, the Contra Costa County Health Department alerted residents that the ashy grit actually contained aluminum, barium, chromium and other hazardous metals — chemicals that are linked to nausea, vomiting, respiratory issu...Free Comic Book Day 2023: 10 questions answered about the big event

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Four Cambodian prospectors who were digging for gold in the central province of Kampong Thom were killed when earth collapsed into the pit where they were mining, a government official and a fellow villager said Friday.Information Minister Khieu Kanharith on his Facebook page quoted reports from a local official saying the four men who died had been hired by a couple who own the mine in the rural jungle village of Snong An.The accident occurred Thursday morning as the men were digging, said Ven Srey Tith, a villager living near the site.Speaking by phone from her home, she said the pit was only a little more than two meters (six feet) deep, but mounds of excavated earth collapsed into it without warning and no one was nearby to see the men’s plight.Their bodies were retrieved the same day and sent to their families for religious rites.Mining without a license is illegal, and Ven Srey Tith said the authorities had told villagers a long time ago that ...Sterling looks for respect against veteran Cejudo in UFC 288

MORRISTOWN, N.J. (AP) — Henry Cejudo marched to the stage for a faceoff with his opponent and punted a pillow printed with an image of Aljamain Sterling into the crowd.As the days moved closer to their bantamweight title bout, hostilities finally started to flare much more than their awkward docile exchange earlier in the week inside a New Jersey hotel.The two UFC fighters were filmed making small talk when they bumped into each other ahead of Saturday’s main event fight at UFC 288. Sterling — who once made a rather suggestive comment where Cejudo could stick his Olympic gold medal — told his challenger he appreciated him taking the fight.Cejudo simply replied he’d been training hard and wished the champ luck.Maybe the fighters need a trash talk boot camp.Sterling, the 135-pound champion since 2021, caught Cejudo (16-2) by surprise when members of his crew filmed the meeting.“I don’t like it. This is personal, You can’t do that,” Cejudo said later, laughing. “I just think he wants t...Dr. Rochelle Walensky, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, says she is resigning effective June 30.
