Train Derailment Containing Highly Toxic Chemicals In Ohio - A Sign of Economic Warfare

On February 3, 2023, a freight train carrying vinyl chloride, butyl acrylate, ethylhexyl acrylate and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, plus few others, where 53 cars out of 150 in a freight train owned and operated by Norfolk Southern Railway derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, United States.

Chemicals that spilled into the Ohio River following a disastrous train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, are forecasted to reach Kentucky in the next day or so, according to estimates from water officials in the region.

Ashland, Kentucky, and nearby communities would be the first in the state to confront the chemical spill as it makes its way downstream, but the plume could be diluted beyond detection by the time it arrives.

Following the Feb. 3 wreck, involving 53 cars of a Norfolk Southern freight train, significant amounts of vinyl chloride and other contaminants billowed into the air or spilled into local waterways, and many downstream communities began to fear contamination in their drinking water.

Since then, multiple water utilities — including Louisville Water Co. — said this week the spill does not pose a risk to drinking water and public health.

The chemicals are degrading as they move downstream, and anything left in source water for cities like Cincinnati and Louisville can be removed by existing filtration systems, such as conventional chlorine or activated carbon, officials have said.
