I really need a new category for the war on humanity. Anyway, I just want to jot down the interesting coincidences and any useful links about the chemical warfare happening in Ohio. I won’t repeat what the other news sites have already reported unless it’s relevant to another interesting point. I just want to point out the things that I found interesting. See bottom of post for detox options.

Ohio partners with MYID Medical Devices
In October 2022, East Palestine signed up for the new ‘MyID‘ medical service for free. Residents will “wear” a device. “It’s a medical device system that helps first responders provide care.” They are wearable devices that have QR codes, and an emergency responder will use their smartphone to access your medical information.

Netflix Movie about Ohio Train Derailment producing toxic cloud
White Noise (Netflix movie) Released in USA, August 2022, and on Netflix, December 2022. Filmed in Ohio and Cleveland. The movie is a comedy about a train accident that causes a cloud of chemical waste over the town. Residents are forced into quarantine, where the main characters have to try and escape “dangerous survivalists” from the camp.

Video footage shows derailed train in Palestine, Ohio, had flames or sparks coming off it 20 miles before derailment. Although a formal thorough investigation has started (that might take up to a year or more for the report), the preliminary cause seems to be an overheating wheel-bearing, leading to a fire, leading to the derailment. The crew received an alert indicating a mechanical issue and initiated the emergency breaks.

Reporter arrested
Police arrested reporter Evan Lambert for live reporting before the town’s press conference began. A police press release the next day says it was because he was reporting too loud. Body cam footage is “silent” in the first interaction, but subsequent timestamped videos show that he did nothing wrong and stopped immediately reporting when asked to, and the reporter is shocked at how things played out and grateful that it was recorded.

CDC updates Vinyl Chloride Tox Profile - drafted in January 2023
First official update in 17 years. CDC publishes a draft of the new safety information on the toxicological results of vinyl chloride. The last time this Toxicology Report for Vinyl Chloride was updated was (2006). (I’ve noticed some people are getting confused between the CDC “Pocket Guide“, which the page said was last ‘reviewed’ in Oct 2019), but the main toxicology report hasn’t been updated since 2006).(17) NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/npgd0658.html
So it’s possible drafts were requested specific to the timing of the derailment, that these were already in progress along with 275 other hazardous substances, or that these reports that “were already in progress” was requested “because” of the derailment… hard to know, so not necessarily a conspiracy, but interesting timing all the same.

CDC updates Vinyl Chloride FAQ
CDC changes the Vinyl Chloride FAQ (see Feb 6 2023 vs Feb 9 2023) which removes several things, including a big bold alert at the top of the page with a number to call if you are exposed warning of its hazardous nature and that it will harm you. It also removed a section on children stating that might affect growth and development, and that infants and young children might be more susceptible to vinyl chloride-induced cancer. (see below timeline for more)

Norfolk Southern gets residents to sign disclaimer holding them harmless
News Media aren’t reporting “against” the Norfolk Southern Train so much as trying to downplay the dangers, and the NY Times even put out a propaganda piece trying to shift the anger of the public towards “Right-Wingers” instead of the companies responsible for this disaster. On the plus side, this kind of smear-campaign biased-reporting is waking more people up to the media.(38) NY Times on Twitter: https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1626340694678708224

CDC’s Toxicological Profile for Vinyl Chloride 2006 > Jan 2023
What’s changed? Apparently there are thousands of changes in the above document, but I don’t have the time or inclination for that job! I can do the FAQ pages though:
How can vinyl chloride affect children? (This section was removed)It has not been proven that vinyl chloride causes birth defects in humans, but studies in animals suggest that vinyl chloride might affect growth and development. Animal studies also suggest that infants and young children might be more susceptible than adults to vinyl chloride-induced cancer.
Has the federal government made recommendations to protect human health? (This section was removed) Vinyl chloride is regulated in drinking water, food, and air. The EPA requires that the amount of vinyl chloride in drinking water not exceed 0.002 milligrams per liter (mg/L) of water. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set a limit of 1 part vinyl chloride per 1 million parts of air (1 ppm) in the workplace. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the vinyl chloride content of various plastics. These include plastics that carry liquids and plastics that contact food. The limits for vinyl chloride content vary depending on the nature of the plastic and its use.
What is vinyl chloride? (Not sure why this has been changed, could just be simplifying the text)
Febraury 7, 2023
Vinyl chloride is a manufactured substance that does not occur naturally; however, it can be formed in the environment when other manufactured substances, such as trichloroethylene, trichloroethane, and tetrachloroethylene, are broken down by certain microorganisms.
February 15, 2023
Vinyl chloride is a manufactured substance that does not occur naturally. It can be formed when other substances such as trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene are broken down.
Vinyl chloride has been found in at least 616 of the 1,662 current or former NPL sites.
When a substance is released either from a large area, such as an industrial plant, or from a container, such as a drum or bottle, it enters the environment. Such a release does not always lead to exposure. You can be exposed to a substance only when you come in contact with it. You may be exposed by breathing, eating, or drinking the substance, or by skin contact.
If you are exposed to vinyl chloride, many factors will determine whether you will be harmed. These factors include the dose (how much), the duration (how long), and how you come in contact with it. You must also consider any other chemicals you are exposed to and your age, sex, diet, family traits, lifestyle, and state of health.
Most people begin to taste vinyl chloride in water at 3.4 ppm.
Because vinyl chloride usually exists in a gaseous state, you are most likely to be exposed to it by breathing it.
The amount of vinyl chloride in the air near these places ranges from trace amounts to over 1 ppm. Levels as high as 44 ppm were found in the air at some landfills.
You can be exposed to vinyl chloride by drinking water from contaminated wells. Most drinking water supplies do not contain vinyl chloride.
When some portion of it reaches your liver, your liver changes it into several substances. Most of these new substances also travel in your blood; once they reach your kidneys, they leave your body in your urine. Most of the vinyl chloride is gone from your body a day after you breathe or swallow it. The liver, however, makes some new substances that do not leave your body as rapidly. A few of these new substances are more harmful than vinyl chloride because they react with chemicals inside your body and interfere with the way your body normally uses or responds to these chemicals. Some of these substances react in the liver and, depending on how much vinyl chloride you breathe in, may produce damage there.
If you breathe high levels of vinyl chloride, you will feel dizzy or sleepy. These effects occur within 5 minutes if you are exposed to about 10,000 ppm of vinyl chloride.
You can easily smell vinyl chloride at this concentration. It has a mild, sweet odor.
If you breathe still higher levels (25,000 ppm), you may pass out.
You can rapidly recover from these effects if you breathe fresh air. Some people get a headache when they breathe fresh air immediately after breathing very high levels of vinyl chloride.
People who breathe extremely high levels of vinyl chloride can die.
Studies in animals show that extremely high levels of vinyl chloride can damage the liver, lungs, and kidneys.
These levels also can damage the heart and prevent blood clotting.
The effects of ingesting vinyl chloride are unknown.
If you spill liquid vinyl chloride on your skin, it will numb the skin and produce redness and blisters.
Some people who have breathed vinyl chloride for several years have changes in the structure of their livers. ome people who have worked with vinyl chloride have nerve damage, and others develop an immune reaction. The lowest levels that produce liver changes, nerve damage, and immune reaction in people are not known. In some of these people, changes have appeared on the skin of their hands and forearms. Also, bones at the tips of their fingers have broken down.
Some men who work with vinyl chloride have complained of a lack of sex drive. Studies in animals showed that long-term exposure can damage the sperm and testes. Some women who work with vinyl chloride have reported irregular menstrual periods. Some have developed high blood pressure during pregnancy.
Results from several studies have suggested that breathing air or drinking water containing moderate levels (100 ppm) of vinyl chloride might increase their risk for cancer.
Studies of workers who have breathed vinyl chloride over many years showed an increased risk for cancer of the liver. Brain cancer, lung cancer, and some cancers of the blood also may be connected with breathing vinyl chloride over long periods. Studies of long-term exposure in animals showed that cancer of the liver and mammary gland may increase at very low levels of vinyl chloride in the air (50 ppm). Lab animals fed low levels of vinyl chloride each day (2 mg/kg/day) during their lifetime had an increased risk of getting liver cancer.
Studies using pregnant animals showed that breathing high levels of vinyl chloride (5,000 ppm) can harm unborn baby animals. Animal studies also show that vinyl chloride can produce more miscarriages early in pregnancy and decrease weight and delay skeletal development in fetuses. These same very high levels of vinyl chloride also caused harmful effects in the pregnant animals. Inhalation studies with animals have suggested that vinyl chloride might affect growth and development. Animal studies also suggest that infants and young children might be more susceptible than adults to vinyl chloride-induced cancer.
Vinyl chloride is regulated in drinking water, food, and air. Because it is a hazardous substance, regulations on its disposal, packaging, and other forms of handling also exist. EPA requires that the amount of vinyl chloride in drinking water not exceed 0.002 milligrams per liter (mg/L) of water (0.002 ppm). Under the EPA’s Ambient Water Quality Criteria for the protection of human health, a concentration of 0.025 micrograms per L (μg/L) of water (0.025 ppb) was established for protecting human health from water and organism ingestion and 2.4 micrograms per L (μg/L) of water (2.4 ppb) was determined for consumption of organisms only.
OSHA regulates levels of vinyl chloride in the workplace. No employee may be exposed to vinyl chloride at levels greater than 1 ppm averaged over any 8-hour period or levels greater than 5 ppm averaged over any period exceeding 15 minutes. NIOSH recommends that the exposure limit (for a time-weighted average [TWA]) for vinyl chloride in air be the lowest reliably detectable concentration. Workers exposed to any measurable amount of it must wear special breathing equipment.
