Toxic waste [from WV chemical spill] injected into Ohio well

Thousands of gallons of a toxic chemical that spilled into a West Virginia waterway in January are now being injected deep underground in northern Ohio.

About 50,000 gallons of wastewater containing 4-methylcyclohexane methanol, or MCHM, a coal-cleansing chemical — some diluted, some undiluted — have been put into an injection well in Sandusky County, according to Ohio and West Virginia environmental officials.
