WATCH LIVE: Officials with the Martinez Refining Company are giving an update after coke dust was briefly released Tuesday morning.
"We do not yet know how much material was released, or how far it spread," Fischer said.
Contra Costa County policy requires MRC to alert the community via the county emergency system and to immediately notify the county health department, neither of which happened in November. Health officials said they learned about the release via media reports a day and a half later. A toxicologist hired by the county said in June that the November release didn't increase public health risks from exposure of hazardous materials in nearby soil.
