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.
