People living miles from the toxic East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment are documenting acid rain falling from the sky after numerous industrial chemicals spread into the atmosphere.
In the wake of the massive derailment, officials performed a “controlled release” burning of hazardous, carcinogenic chemicals like vinyl chloride, sending plumes of toxic black smoke into the sky.
This is more than #Ohio. I’m across the lake (Lake Erie) in southern Ontario Canada by Niagara Falls and me and my family have had non stop head aches for about 7 days straight now. We can literally smell the chlorine over here in Canada. This is bigger than they are telling us pic.twitter.com/S9ns7VgyGM
Acid rain, which in this case is hydrochloric acid mixed with concentrated, unburned vinyl chloride, has been reported in every direction: West: 400 miles W to Lafayette North: 1200 miles N to Durham Canada; East: 1200 miles E Boston and NY South: 800 miles SW to Kentucky pic.twitter.com/5J48y137KM
Disclosure: I’m no expert. I just bought this test kit off of Amazon and decided to test the rain water this morning. The Sulfate color caught my eye before I even knew what Sulfate in the rain water could mean. #acidrain#EastPalenstine#trainderailmentpic.twitter.com/fxMp5kSf5h
