We are now 12 days into this and I'm still seeing theories of what COULD be hazardous. It's not that hard to test the air and water around the site and the proposed areas it's effecting. A couple hundred dollars for expedited analysis.
Here is an example of pyrolysis and combustion products of poly(vinyl chloride) https://tsapps.nist.gov/publication/get_pdf.cfm?pub_id=106993
Yes Dioxane is on there as a pyrolysis product (absence of oxygen) but not as a combustion.
I'm ready to see some numbers and not just theories.
