I don't know about "years to come." It's hydrochloric acid, which is some nasty shit, but it will break down quickly once it is sufficiently diffuse, likely turning into salt (maybe table salt (NaCL), or CaCl2). I don't know that it's necessarily going to be "nasty" after it does it's initial damage. I think the short term for this stuff is far more worrying than the long term.
What in the hell do we do about this? There ain’t no fixing this. There will be toxic repercussions for years and years to come.

So what does that mean? Someone from the EPA needs to go on tv and tell us where this shit will end up. Is it going to follow the jet stream?
