Researchers found acrolein — a chemical toxin — at levels six times higher than normal near the site of the East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment weeks after public officials told residents it was safe to return to their homes.
Nearly 5,000 residents of East Palestine evacuated following the February 3 train derailment after Northfolk Southern officials decided to burn vinyl chloride from five tanker cars in an attempt to prevent an explosion, PBS reported.
A team of scientists from Carnegie Mellon and Texas A & M Universities sent a van three weeks after the train derailment to search for harmful pollutants in the air, NBC reported. The vehicle included a mass spectrometer which “can measure hundreds to thousands of compounds in the air every second.”

This disaster fell off the radar, didn’t it...
Love Canal of the 21st century.
And I did not realize the jokes and innuendo until after I wrote that first sentence.
Laffing much at merry mayor pete
Well, Joy Behar said those people voted for this.
To her, voting Trump or Republican, means you want toxic chemicals and train derailments in your area. To her, only good liberals are opposed to such disasters.
That’s OK...
Ukraine needs another 20 billion or so...
Screw the citizens of this country.
Actually, out of the 3 options that they had, burning it was the best one..
There’s no tyranny in the story.
It will be an issue in the campaign. Kennedy is even representing 1,000 families in a class action lawsuit. I wish he would bring the updates.
Just like with nuclear accidents many people will suffer and many people will die. But there will conveniently be no way to associate those cases with the cause.

Where can acrolein be found and how is it used?
Acrolein enters the air from the burning of fossil fuels and tobacco smoke. It forms when animal and vegetable fats are heated. It is also a by product of fires and can be toxic to firefighters.
How can people be exposed to acrolein?
You could be exposed to acrolein through: Breathing acrolein in tobacco smoke or from the burning of plants. Breathing exposure could also happen if you breathe air near running automobiles. If you live near an oil or coal power plant, you may breathe small amounts of acrolein.
Eating small amounts of acrolein in fried foods, cooking oils and roasted coffee.
They found it in the air, only three weeks after the burn-off.
Let them go back and test again, now.
Relax, once Biden visits as he promised the problem will be fixed....
I saw one plume maybe two that may of been a discharge from a pressure relief valve operating as designed or a sheered off valve, which is distinct possibility.
There was nothing controlled.
At that point in the disaster timeline, it was suicide for any first responder to get within 100 yards of the fire. Initially, the responders when the fire had burned out a lot, would have been focused first on containment insofar as possible and cooling the fire via hoses from the responding fire engines.
By the way…. You still reading that rag Chemical Violence? Lol…
Never heard of it. I just use search engines. Heard of them?

Your threed creation citing Chemical Violence website as the source document. Kind of whacked out info to latch onto there.
So, you’re one of those information bigots who believes in cancelation and censorship. Good to know.
It’s a video. Is it fake?
