Dear Friend and Reader:
The dioxin problem associated with the Palestine, Ohio train wreck is being well-concealed; the incident itself is barely breaking the surface of national news.
Carol van Strum of Tidewater, Oregon, knows what it’s like to have dioxin sprayed all over her home, the forest she lives in, and the whole region of her state. In the 1970s, this was due to the intentional release of the Vietnam-era herbicide Agent Orange. Among other accomplishments, she was responsible for having the product registration pulled for the most toxic component of Agent Orange, 2,4,5-T.
She also personally litigated the Bureau of Land Management and the National Forest Service to stop the spraying. We discussed that in our interview from May 2022.
Thank you so much! I read Eric's excellent coverage this morning :) I hope Carol stays on top of the Oregon derailment as well since it is close to home for her.
Just in case you or others haven't seen it, Eric had previously posted this item yesterday, he explained dioxin and how the mixing of the chemicals present on the train and the deliberate setting of a rail car on fire provides the context for creating dioxin.
Palestine, Ohio train wreck: It's the dioxin It's not just what was in the tanker cars. It's what happens when they burn and combine. This may be the largest dioxin plume in world history. I know of no more serious release, ever. Eric Francis Coppolino, 2/13/23.
