Meanwhile in Ohio, there's been this 'controlled release' of phosgene in East Palestine. The 'controlled' part was placing explosive charges on rail tankers of vinyl chloride, to stop them catching fire.

People were evacuated but weren't allowed to take pets with them. So all the pets and livestock are dying.

Also, instead of disposing of contaminated soil, it's just been buried. Absolutely mental.

There are some youtube channels about polluted sites, some are from the 60s but you'd think they know better now!

But Trump limited the EPAs powers even more, I am not sure they can override local stupid decisions.
