I think she's right about the overall idea that it's to destroy the food supply and buy land on the cheap, but she downplays the danger of the chemicals.
She says there's no vinyl chloride because it all burned off. But we don't know that, and it's very possible there was some uncombusted material left over. It's gonna go somewhere, likely into the ground. It might get absorbed into the ground and surrounding groundwater.
She says HCl is not a big problem because it disperses quickly, which is true, but it will come down (most already has) as acid rain and will affect the pH of topsoil.
Other chemicals will get taken up by plants and animals and bioaccumulate in fat cells. A tiny bit in foods might be no big deal, but it will build up and work its way up the food chain.
Yeah I was going to say these things. This video is worth listening to for some people but the details and what is stated is completely in error. Also stated the burn off vynil chloride turns to phosgene and hydrochloric acid,which is completely wrong and missing an entire gas phase of hydrogen chloride.
I dont live there and haven't been in the area personally to test and confirm but....if vynil chloride was in the tanks of quantities reported and then burned, this video suggestions is dangerous and playing down the threat from that is completely nonsensical.
