"There is indeed a good probability that the waterways will be contaminated. I'm more concerned with the Butyl acrylate, Ethylhexyl acrylate, and Ethylene glycol monobutyl that spilled getting into the waterways. The long term effect of these chemicals getting into the water table is very troublesome. These 3 chemicals are liquids, which if not dealt with immediately and thoroughly, would get into the ground water and affect the water shed.
Consider the 6 train cars of vinyl chloride though. Vinyl chloride is a monomer and becomes a gas at only 8 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, these cars were ignited which causes this chemical to disassociate into H2, Cl, and CO in the air. Hence, the black column of smoke rising into the sky. The H2 and Cl can easily form airborne hydrochloric acid and Phosphene (COCl2) is another gas that's created from burning chemicals like this. Depending on many factors, the HCL will precipitate in rain droplets making acid rain.
To me, the immediate danger lies in the fallout from this toxic cloud that people downwind will be exposed to. The contamination of the water shed will be a factor for years to come."
I am not a rocket scientist....And I don't have to be. Neither do you to predict what will happen.
"I can't believe there isn't a better solution than what is being provided here for a chemical accident like this. Is it wrong to suggest the emergency response here borderlines on ineptness? How about investing in minutemen 'crack' chemical spill teams instead of SWAT? Let's equip them with 'military' style armaments for neutralizing hazardous spills. Yes, there's a little 'play' on the wording here. From all the hazardous spills of late, it sounds like its time has come for every city to have a well developed minuteman chemical response teams.
There are chemical agents for neutralizing these toxins. I provide examples for the nitric acid spill. There are neutralizing agents for vinyl chloride too. Why is there no prepared response team for this? The EPA is politicized and inept, State governments are wrongly dependent on federal disaster funding. This is all aftermath damage control. Why wouldn't State governments be prescient enough to foresee disasters like this occurring?
Again, who approved the torching of the chemical spill in East Palestine? We will soon find out. I am betting OH Governor DeWine approved it. Dewine is a lawyer.... Lawyers tend to put their finger up there asses to gauge which way the wind is blowing. In this case, burning the toxins was getting rid of a problem that might of involved a quick chemical response team that he undoubtedly didn't have. Instead, he sits on his hands complaining the federal government isn't providing disaster funds. Time delayed is killing a growing number of people.
The burning of the chemicals was the EPA and NS decision. His son said if the tankers reached 150 plus degrees they would explode. This would be catastrophic. When they did the control burn off the temperature was already at 130 plus degrees.
This was told directly told to him from the mayor.
A lot of independent scientists are sounding the alarm bells.
And Mike Dewine actually dared to say "Everything is fine..."
And sadly, most will not know this because it isn’t being reported to the masses.
My husband's son lives in the epicenter. He sent this.
Serve this water to all elected officials. Make their coffee, tea, ice, etc all beverages with this water only.
Absolutely.
What are you screen shotting?
Link to something ffs.

The picture is the research.
The picture is a 601x960 trash jpeg.
The data can't be read.
It's utterly worthless.
Post the links.
Take your fingers and expand it.
I'm not on a phone you tard! Your image is pixelated garbage!
This is what we see when we zoom in!

NOTHING IS LEGIBLE.
I now know it came from facebook but those of us without facebook can't access the hotlinks in that image. WHAT ARE THEY?
What's being highlighted???
I don't have Facebook either. It was sent to me from someone.
By the way, I don't appreciate the name calling. My sister has Down Syndrome and that is very offensive.

Then yesterday, the AZ nitric acid truck spill occurred. I said the following:

Cool, real research stats.
