So, how contaminated is our rain going to be?

In your expert opinion, what SHOULD they have done?

They should have herded all the illegals to the wreck site and built in inescapable wall around it.

thats the issue, as is there is no easy answer. Vinyl Chloride is extremely flammable and can explode if heated. but its also toxic when inhaled especially to children. Burning it hot enough breaks it down to Hydrogen Chloride, which still isnt good and when dissolved into water it becomes hydrochloric acid, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

I totally agree with this.

It's easier for some people to sit and bitch and complain though when they have zero first hand experience with the subject matter.

I see we're now moving from "White Noise" to "The Rain".

I have a "source" in the area, who can state with the confidence of a person who's job it is to "know these things", that Allegheny County is NOT suffering from any effects of the Ohio burn, and that no fallout concerns from rain either.

The winds are coming from the ENE when it rains and you're getting the fallout from the Fels Naptha smokestack?

This has been going on since december

my experience is some chemistry in college/high school so very limited on real world application. what i have an issue with is how quick the government is saying everything is fine and everything needs to go back to normal. There should be caution taken and people's concerns should be taken seriously. I am also willing to bet Norfolk southern will get only a hand slap considering they bailed on the recent town meeting.

Well that's mildly reassuring.

yea. I'd like to disclose more, but I don't want to accidentally get this person into some kind of trouble.
Sufficed to say, I've known this person for multiple decades, and personally trust the information provided.

.

I saw a video from upstate new york I assume near buffalo said he was getting fallout and black clouds coming off the lake

[streaker69]

Is there a safe and effective vaccine that will keep me safe?
