Our tests from near Tutor Time of Mooresville are back and show what experts call unacceptably risky arsenic and radioactivity levels just below the surface. The carcinogens registered levels well above what's in the ground naturally. #buried @AVengosh

BURIED: A Mooresville day care sits above and around 100,000 tons of potentially toxic coal ash.
Some is exposed or close to the surface; a violation of state rules.
Full investigation airs on @wcnc tonight after the #OlympicGames
