Spill in the Elk River of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol brings a "do not drink" advisory, but health concerns are unclear. Crews clean up a chemical spill along the Elk River in Charleston, WV.

The chemical that caused the problem is 4-methylcyclohexane methanol. It's oily and described as smelling like licorice. "This is a chemical that's used in the process of cleaning coal.

The compound involved in the chemical spill into West Virginia's Elk River – 4-methylcyclohexane methanol – is used to clean coal. Tyler Evert/AP A stretch of the Elk River in Charleston, W.Va.

The researchers determined that MCHM “consists of two isomers: a cis and a trans methylcyclohexane methanol,” according to Dietrich. “The isomers have the same chemical formula but a very slight shape ...

An industrial chemical, 4-methylcyclohexane methanol is used at about 20 to 25 percent of coal processing plants in West Virginia. It is used in a process called froth flotation, ...

At a chemical plant near Charleston, W.V., a 48,000-gallon tank of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol, or MCHM, was found to be leaking into the Elk River yesterday (January 9).
