A green slime that oozed onto a Detroit interstate, stopping traffic, has been found to be a cancer-causing chemical that leaked from the basement of a local business
A green liquid was found oozing onto Interstate 696 in Detroit Friday, causing authorities to block off portions of the highway and call in federal agencies to investigate.
By Saturday, it was discovered that the mysterious liquid was the chemical hexavalent chromium and was leaking from a local business, Michigan State Police said on Twitter. Hexavalent chromium is usually produced during industrial processes like plating and is known to cause cancer, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The chemical is harmful to the respiratory system, kidneys, liver, skin and eyes.
