Aiello, I.W<\/strong>., Endris, C., Cunningham, S.\u00a0et al.<\/i>\u00a0Coastal wetland deposition of cathode metals from the world\u2019s largest lithium-ion battery fire.<\/strong>\u00a0Sci Rep<\/i>\u00a015<\/b>, 42113 (2025).
\u2192 Reveals how the lithium-ion battery fire at the Vistra Energy facility in Moss Landing led to a rapid but shallow deposition of nickel, manganese, and cobalt from cathode materials onto nearby estuarine wetland soils, highlighting a real-world example of battery-derived metal pollution and the importance of rapid environmental monitoring.<\/p>\n
