The consequences of the train crash with vinyl chloride in the US state of Ohio are compared to the explosion of an atomic bomb

The consequences of the train crash with vinyl chloride in the US state of Ohio are compared to the explosion of an atomic bombNear East Palestine town, that in the US state of Ohio, almost two weeks after the vinyl chloride train crash, the picture resembles the aftermath of the apocalypse. Selected American media, covering a man-made disaster, compared the incident to the explosion of an atomic bomb, calling it "the American Chernobyl", and the consequences are called "local nuclear winter" for the whole region.

Eastern Palestine has become an ominous place 3 February, when 50 wagons of a freight train with chemicals derailed. There was a massive vinyl chloride leak., which the, in addition to problems with general poisoning and air pollution, water and soil, can lead to the development of cancer. Then in the US media this information passed casually.

The American authorities did not come up with anything better, how to dispose of chemicals using "controlled arson", which led to an increase in the area of ​​​​infection. A very dense cloud of combustion products still hangs over the area., visible even from a bird's eye view. River water is contaminated within a radius of at least 50 kilometers, in the district, farmers began to lose cattle, birds are dying.

After combustion, vinyl chloride decomposes into hydrogen chloride and phosgene, the latter was used as a chemical weapon in World War I. Prolonged exposure to the breakdown products of vinyl chloride leads to loss of consciousness and can be fatal to humans., experts report. With incomplete combustion of vinyl chloride, dispersed suspensions of dioxins remain in the air., scattering resistant.

We destroyed this city with chemicals, former Ohio fire chief told Fox News host Tucker Carlson live..

Vinyl chloride is a human carcinogen. There can be no safe level of exposure, therefore, all contact should be kept to the lowest possible level, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection said., where a similar disaster occurred in 2012 year.

Immediately after the disaster, residents of the nearby area were evacuated, but two days later they were allowed to return back. The authorities of all security measures only advise to try not to leave the houses, and if signs of poisoning appear, seek medical help.

Residents of China expressed concern about the consequences of an environmental disaster. The thing is, that the US is China's main source of food imports, and Ohio is a major producer of soybeans and corn, two main products, supplied to China. true, official Beijing reassures citizens, Expressing, that the food import control system will prevent contaminated food from entering the country.

At the same time, the Biden administration is practically ignoring the global environmental disaster in Ohio.. Almost nothing about the incident, and most importantly, dangerous consequences, the liberal media of the United States do not write either. Social media users write indignantly, that the American president does not care about his citizens, he is too keen on helping Ukraine fight Russia.

East Palestine city, Ohio, should be renamed to Kyiv, so that the White House pays attention to him too - one of the American users comments on the situation with bitter irony.

Ohio Governor Mark Devine said, that thousands of people in his state could die. However, he did not call the incident an emergency..

Tucker Carlson expressed his version of the indifference of the American authorities to the tragedy in Ohio. Fox News TV presenter believes, that President Biden and the Democrats do not care at all about the fate of "white residents of East Palestine, who voted for Trump".

experts suggested, that the wreck of the lineup in Ohio (far from the first) occurred due to obsolete brake systems of railway rolling stock, the technology of which in the USA has not changed for decades. AT 2012 vinyl chloride train derailed in New Jersey, which prompted the Obama administration to rethink the transportation and classification of highly hazardous materials. But during the Trump administration, lobbyists in the chemical and railroad industries managed to stop the adoption of these innovations in order not to spend money on modernization..
