Green Slime Oozing On Suburban Detroit Highway Is Cancerous, Officials Say

Perhaps residents in the Detroit suburbs might want to call up Erin Brockovich. She has lots of experience with this exact situation.

After a mysterious green slime was seen oozing onto Interstate 696 in Madison Heights on Friday, investigators were called out. Turns out, it’s hexavalent chromium, a cancer-causing chemical.

Authorities believe it’s leaking from a local business. According to the Michigan State Police, a clean up is underway, which could take days to complete.

Brockovich took on the Pacific Gas and Electric Company in the 90s after hexavalent chromium was found leaching into California’s water supply.
