that would depend on the concentration of acid added to the water . the big problem is a small amount would drastically change the pH of the water . pH down for pools or hydroponics is phosphoric acid which is much weaker than hydrocholric . a drop or two would change the pH by several points in a gallon. a weak concentration itself isnt toxic. you can buy hydrochoric acid capsules at most health food store . they say the solution to pollution is dilution so hopefully the river dilutes the fuck out of it . i would be more worried about ash falling on farm land and changing the pH of the soil or the cloud mixing with storm clouds and causing acid rain
Yes, thank you
This is the discussion that should be front and center right now.

Much of the equation needed to determine the potential repercussions of this "controlled release" are already available...amount released, wind, rain, water flow in volume and speed of the affected areas.

exactly. someone who is way smarter than me could sit down and figure all that out using math equations . they know exactly what was on the train . if they really wanted to they could figure this out .they have to admit there is a problem first

"In 1984, Jack Gladney is a professor of "Hitler studies" (a field he founded) at the College-on-the-Hill in Ohio. Despite his specialism, he speaks no German and is secretly taking basic lessons to prepare for a speech he is due to give at a conference. Jack is married to Babette, his fourth wife. Together, they raise a blended family with four children: Heinrich and Steffie, from two of Jack's previous marriages; Denise, from Babette's previous marriage; and Wilder, a child they conceived together. Denise spies on Babette and finds her secret prescription stash of Dylar, a mysterious drug not in the usual records. Jack experiences a dream about a mysterious man trying to kill him, alluding to an earlier conversation with Babette focused on their mutual fear of death. Jack's colleague, Murray Siskind, a professor of American culture, wishes to develop a similarly niche field, "Elvis studies,” and convinces Jack to help him. They briefly become rivals as competition between their courses arises.

However, their lives are disrupted when a cataclysmic train accident casts a cloud of chemical waste over the town. This "Airborne Toxic Event" forces a massive evacuation, which leads to a major traffic jam on the highway. Jack drives to a gas station to refill his car, where he is inadvertently exposed to the cloud. The family and numerous others are forced into quarantine at a summer camp. Murray supplies Jack with a small palm-sized pistol to protect himself against the more dangerous survivalists in the camp. One day, chaos ensues when multiple families desperately try to escape the camp. The Gladneys almost make it out but ultimately end up with their car floating in the river. They later arrive in Iron City, where they encounter a man who rants about the lack of media attention on the evacuees and spots Jack, claiming he had seen him before looking at him. After nine days, the family manages to return home. However, since Jack was briefly exposed to the chemical waste, his fear of death becomes exacerbated."



They gotta tell you, it's a rule.

When an accident happens, you don't leave the idiots who were responsible for the accident in charge of the aftermath. You have the adults take over.

Unfortunately, this administration has valued "wokeness" over qualifications with every single appointee. So here we are.

Toxic gasses being released and a company worth $54 billion covering their ass and controlling the narrative.

Q: Who is in charge?
A: Nobody

I wouldn't be anywhere near that area
She said she got nauseous after being there for a couple hours. She relocated about 10 miles away. Plans to go back tomorrow, but if the odor is still bad she said she'll turn around.

These residents are being told the air is safe by the EPA.

a little anecdotal story here about how this is far from over.... back in the day when i first started working in the chemical field we had this shitty little warehouse on the edge of the industrial park . we would store the empty drums out back until we had enough to ship back for deposit return (75-100). we would occasionally need an empty drum to ship in so we would "wash out" a used drum and dump the water down the bank. well we would do that all summer long and in september it starts to rain again here . all that shit starts to come back up when it gets wet . after a rainfall it would reek like bleach outside ,sometime the ground would foam up a bit . chemicals are really ever gone gone.i would think that next time east palestine gets a good rainfall they are going to be in some trouble. god knows what is going to come up from the ground and then the run off is going right in to the storm sewer
