Air, soil, wells near oil spill to be tested
Indoor air, cropland soils and residential wells downstream of a Yellowstone River oil spill will be tested for contamination after residents raised concerns about hazards from the tens of thousands of gallons of crude that poured into the watercourse, the Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday.
Crews worked to contain an oil spill covering 19 square miles in the Yellow Sea two days after explosions released the oil in Dalian, China, officials said.
