The Minnesota Department of Health is warning Southeast Como residents of potentially harmful vapors that may be seeping into homes and buildings.
The department sent letters to residents Wednesday to alert them of an ongoing investigation, according to a press release.
The soil vapor being analyzed is TCE, or trichloroethylene, and was used as an industrial solvent at a former General Mills facility on Hennepin Avenue in the mid-1900s, the press release said.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro may have died from auto-erotic asphyxiation, not suicide, and two prison guards falsified logs documenting their observation of him in the hours before he died, the state said Thursday.
Castro, who was sentenced to life in prison for kidnapping three women and imprisoning them in his home for a decade, hanged himself Sept. 3 after serving a few weeks of his sentence.
