Ohioans at Risk

 

The train derailment in eastern Ohio and the resulting chemical contamination may be even worse than has been reported.  What follows is from a report published at America Out Loud by a physician posting as DrLee4America:

. . . Pound for pound, or molecule for molecule, Dioxin is more toxic than Botulin toxin, and more toxic than most military “nerve gases” used as weapons of war. Dioxin is a potent carcinogen and major endocrine (hormonal) toxin, and perhaps best known as the most toxic contaminant in the “Agent Orange” defoliant used in the Vietnam War that resulted in the devastating long-term health damage and cancers in our military.

The fact that government leaders are not disclosing Dioxin as a major contaminant from the burning of vinyl chloride in the Ohio train disaster and the dioxin contamination from burning plastic in the Florida fire near Disney World on February 16th is a health catastrophe waiting to happen.

DrLee4America, speaking as a physician who has researched this topic and published the health dangers of Dioxin to women’s health 20 years ago, discusses the dangers to residents in Eastern Ohio and Florida exposed to the toxic plumes containing Dioxin and other toxic chemicals. The plumes containing Dioxin from the burning in OH and FL will spread widely beyond those local areas, causing contamination of soil, water, and air and leading to damage to wildlife and humans that could affect as much as a third of the entire country.

Other dioxin disasters have been forgotten -- Love Canal in Niagara Falls, NY, and the town of Times Beach Missouri — but both resulted in complete closures of both areas for human inhabitation, contrary to the advice federal and state officials are giving residents of East Palestine now.
