The Ohio train derailment toxic dioxin bomb is far worse than we realized

• arclein
I am shocked to learn the horrifying facts about the toxicity of dioxins, a class of chemical compounds formed when chlorinated compounds are burned. The authorities who set fire to the vinyl chloride in Ohio have unleashed an ecological catastrophe that's causing dioxin fallout on food, farms and families in Ohio, Pennsylvania and other states. The maximum lifetime "safe" exposure to dioxins is 1/10,000th the mass of a single grain of table salt.
