I revisit my old mlp ocs from way back when I was a mlp tiktoker.

basic rundown, blueprint, Do-Re-Mi and chemical spill have a genetic condition called 'extended cutie marks'. these ponies are so obsessed with there talent that their cutie marks reflect this the more they indulge in the telent, growing and changing and spreading all over the body.

East Palestine, Ohio.

Train Derailment.

-------------------

Affected Area

States

Ohio

Pennsylvania

West Virginia

Indiana

Kentucky

Illinois

-------------------------------

Counties affected

Major Cities Affected

Pittsburgh, PA.

Liverpool, OH.

Portsmouth, OH.

Cincinnati, OH.

Wheeling, WV.

Parkersburg, WV.

Huntington, WV.

Ashland, KY.

Louisville, KY.

Owensboro, KY.

Henderson, KY.

Paducah, KY.

Cairo, IL.

Evensville, ID.

If you receive water from the Ohio river or rivers that flow from the Ohio river you are in the effected area.

So check where you get your water if you live in any of the yellow counties.

-------------------------------

Affects Of Chemicals.

Chemicals spilt.

Vinyl Chloride

Butyl acrylate

Ethylhexyl acrylate.

---------------------

Vinyl Chloride

Vinyl Chloride has been linked too liver damage when exposed to between 300 and 500 ppm, it is a known carcinogen that causes a rare liver cancer to form.

The other two chemicals pose very little harm.

Should you be worried.

This is an ongoing situation but as of currently only very small traces amounts of Butyl Acrylate have been found in the Ohio river.

The overall danger is minimal.

If you receive your water directly from the Ohio river you can switch to bottled water for extra safety if you feel the need to.

I will personally be doing this.

But if your outside the Ohio river basin you have 0 worry and for those of us living here the only slight concern should be had if you water comes from the river or a river being fed by the Ohio river.

This is a continued situation and I will update it as new information comes out

Norfolk Southern, the US railway company responsible for the toxic spew of vinyl chloride, has now offered a $25,000 donation to assist the area’s nearly 5,000 residents who were ordered to evacuate their homes, or face death.

with $25,000 they could directly pay each resident $5

with $5 they cant put gas in their car to flee. they cant buy respirators. they can't purchase a hotel. they can't buy food on the road - or at all. $5 doesn't take away the irreparable damage to their bodies. cannot take away the effects if carcinogens. cannot bring back the health if their children. their pets. of their live stock.

norfolk southern is worth

$56.18 BILLION DOLLARS

with 56.18 billion dollars they could give each of those 5,000 people

$11,236,000

why is this fucking company not giving every dime they have to TRY to make up to the damage this has on the residents - the PEOPLE living in and around East Palenstine Ohio will forever be affected. Norfold Southern needs to physically pay for what they have done and work with non-police officials to prevent further harm. Norfolk southern needs to invest in their safety. in their employees. this was PREVENTABLE. NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN.

please reblog with mutual aid/relief funds and donation centers.

Palestine, Ohio👇

The victims living in the fallout of the Ohio train disaster have been abandoned and left completely on their own.

Candice De La Rosa is here to detail how government officials claim the water is safe to drink but most residents do not believe it.

Toxic well water and cancer rates could skyrocket in the wake of the Ohio train disaster!

Sil Caggiano is here to tell the truth about what really happened in East Palestine, Ohio.

The short term effects from chemical exposure are difficulty breathing, rashes, and burning eyes.

By Stephen Millies

More than 41,000 people, including thousands of children, have been killed by the Feb. 6 earthquake. No one has died so far in the Feb. 3 train wreck or from the dangerous chemicals that were released because of it.

Earthquakes are terrible natural events caused by the shifting and collision of plates inside the earth. Reinforced buildings designed to withstand shocks can greatly reduce fatalities.

Real estate sharks seeking more profits aren’t interested in constructing safer buildings. Thousands of people were killed because of contractors trying to cut costs

There was nothing natural about the wreck of the Norfolk Southern freight train that derailed. The 150-car train was 9,300 feet long and weighed 18,000 tons.

Railroad tycoons like long trains, which are part of their Precision Scheduled Railroading model. PSR has helped destroy 62,000 railroad jobs since 2015 while increasing average train length by 25%.

Hey guys this fox rescue has been hit hard by the chemical train that derailed in Ohio. It’s really close to the disaster site and the future is going to be rough there for a while so I thought I’d spread this around in case anyone else wanted to help. It also has some wolf dogs and coyotes.

If you're a true environmentalist

You will demand answers for the Ohio train derailment toxic chemical burn AND the toxic Tuscon crash.

These incidents are just as bad as oil spills, despite how our "leaders" ignore them. They maybe actually be worse in the long run.

More about the train derailment/chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio.

The EPA added to Vinyl Chloride and Butyl Acrylate three other chemicals released at the site of the train derailment.

Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, Ethylhexyl acrylate, and Isobutylene.

More than a week after the train disaster in East Palestine - some people living there are still smelling strong chemical odors.

The U.S. EPA states the materials released during the incident were observed and detected in samples from Sulphur Run, Leslie Run, Bull Creek, North Fork Little Bever Creek, Little Bever Creek, and the Ohio River.

Excerpt from this story from Grist:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and local officials are investigating the recent release of dangerous chemicals into Michigan’s Huron River, a 130-mile-long waterway that is popular for fishing and recreation and supplies drinking water for more than 100,000 people in Ann Arbor as well as other south-eastern Michigan communities.

Then, despite alarms signaling the spill, a plant operator overrode the alarm 460 times in roughly three hours, according to the agency, failing to report the spill for more than two days.

The July event marks the second time in four years that Tribar has been blamed for releasing harmful chemicals into the water, and, critics say, is yet another example of how contamination from corporate polluters can endanger entire communities.

Hexavalent chromium, also called chromium-6, is used in stainless steel production, electroplating and in the manufacturing of dyes, inks, and surface coatings and other products. Research has linked chromium compounds to lung cancer, liver damage, reproductive problems, and developmental harm.

The 2000 film Erin Brockovich brought chromium-6 to national attention, featuring the true-life tale of a legal assistant who discovered elevated rates of cancer and death among residents of Hinkley, California, were linked to the contaminant in their drinking water.

Tribar said in a statement that the worker responsible for overriding its alarm system resigned from the company the day the spill was reported. State water regulators issued violations and continue to press the company for answers, including why the employee was present at the plant when it wasn’t in production.

A spokesperson for the FBI did not specify the scope of its inquiry, but told the Detroit Free Press that the agency can become involved in an incident involving a chemical leak when there is potential criminal activity.

The battle to keep hexavalent chromium out of drinking water is an effort that spans the nation. An interactive map by the non-profit Environmental Working Group found chromium-6 in tap water serving 251 million people throughout the US, at levels scientists deem unsafe.

:O an actual post from me! I wanted to give my (fully unwarranted and outsider) opinion on the response to the Ohio derailment. Of course, this is all from the experience and perspective of a hazmat technician who hasn't dealt with large scale environmental disasters like this.

Yes, it's scary. Yes, it's dangerous. Norfolk railroad didn't have the *best* response they could've, but in a real life situation nothing ever goes to plan. The one thing they did right is immediate notification of the EPA.

Now, on to current events. Vinyl chloride is an incredibly dangerous chemical, with the only good form of long distance transportation being by train. I cannot state anything about the status of the safety mechanisms on the rail car, however in a derailment it usually doesn't matter as the car gets punctured anyway. Safety wise, the TLV (Threshold Limit Value) is the acceptable value for continual exposure to a worker over an eight hour period is 1 ppm (part per million). A part per million can be equated to a single drop in 10 gallons of water, this is a very low TLV. OSHA also lists their own values, called PEL (permissible exposure limit), which is 1 ppm for vinyl chloride. Of course, these values are weighted for a chemical worker who is exposed 5 days a week for 8 hours a day. During an environmental disaster the short term exposure levels may be set higher based on recovery needs and other factors (such as being outside in an open area). Most of the other chemicals are toxic only with skin contact, however they are miscible in water.

I know there's a lot of worry about the water supply. The inlets and outlets of all water treatment plants, water inflows, etc are constantly monitored (on average a reading is taken every 2 seconds, 24/7/365, with automated systems to shutdown inflows if certain chemical concentrations are exceeded). These chemicals will most likely flow downstream and join the multitude of other chemicals dissolved in the water from leaking ship tanks, shipyards, military sites, etc. I don't forsee any long-term effects to the water supply after the initial bloom passes downstream.

The soil does need to be removed and remediated, and I believe the EPA is investigating why Norfolk's cleanup contractor didn't do that. The EPA is on your side frens, their number one priority is to keep you safe. They are one of the few alphabet soup agencies that has no ulterior motives.

In short, yes this is scary. I understand those who don't want to return, I would be cautious as well. But this isn't the end of the world, the town isn't going to be destroyed. Within a few months the area should be completely back to normal. Modern chemical monitoring equipment is fantastic and allows for blanket networks of monitoring equipment that can detect chemicals down to parts per billion (1 drop of water in 10,000 gallons of water, the average swimming pool) and smaller.

Drink bottled water, reduce time outside, and monitor your physical health. You can worry yourself sick, literally, the brain is an incredible organ, and the placebo effect works incredibly well. The mayor himself lives two blocks away from the accident, this is going to get solved properly.

If you have any questions feel free to send an ask, I love talking about chemical safety and protecting the environment.
