Keenesburg is about an hour northeast of Denver and has about 1,200 inhabitants. The country there is rolling and flat. Shops sell jeans and cowboy boots, many warehouses and places to buy Bobcats and Peterbilt trucks and supplies. It is best known for its sanctuary that protects great cats.
While the Osha is an organization that is carried out, another agency that may examine the six deaths, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, which has an office in Denver. But from April 1st, the staff will be on administrative leave because President Donald Trump's decision to conclude it.
Dr. Robert Harrison, professor of professional medicine at the University of California San Francisco, said that the office at the end of the investigation of science when investigating the “toxic exposure that can take place on dairy farms, when guessing the understanding of the laboratory tests that can be carried out by the medical examinations.
When asked about the difference between the work done there and the work at Osha, he said: “You would work in parallel to Osha. Osha questioned whether there were violations of the security standards. Niosch leads the science and the background and the exploration of ways to prevent these incidents from ever happening again.”
He added: “This death shows more than ever why we need Niosh. It is the only field office in the American west, not only in Colorado. There are thousands of these farms with manure.”

Mistruben, he said, could have been the cause of the deaths if hydrogen sulfid gas killed it, as the Weld County's forensic doctor was a possible cause of a press release, in which it was determined:
“The Coroner's Office of the Weld County examines these deaths as possibly the result of a gas burden in a narrow space. However, the final cause and the type of death and the death artistry will wait for the conclusion of the results of the autopsy and toxicological results.”
If the gas was hydrogen sulfide that smells of lazy eggs, Harrison said that there would be no other source on a milk farm to decompose.
“If this is the case, this means that they were likely to be in or around a slurry pit”, which is a memory container for the firm waste of the cows. He said that hydrogen sulfid gas disintegrates as a crap.
There are many cows on the farm that correct themselves close together, with metal slots separate them. It is shown in a toxicological report whether this was actually the cause after completing the autopsy.
According to Jolene Weiner, the deputy Coroner Coroner of Weld County, a telephone interview reached on Wednesday afternoon: “The toxicological report will be part of the autopsy, and that will not be available for 10 to 12 weeks … and until we have our results, we have no updates.
