If memory serves me correctly, one of the combustion byproducts of vinyl chloride is phosgene gas, which is a nerve agent which will drop you in your tracks. Not good... I used to work for a state "air quality" program and when it came to accidental releases, they were idiots, cowards and liars. Pray for Ohio....
It is a chemical weapon but it's not a nerve agent. Totally different effects but both lead to death.
If you're interested in that sort of stuff the book "A Higher Form of Killing" is absolutely incredible. Goes through the entire history, processes, happenings, etc involving using biological and chemical weapons to massacre each other with.

Thanks for the tip.
And pray for PA since E Palestine is on the OH/PA border and wind pushes the chemicals eastward. Past Pgh mostly farmland.
