Carcinogenic acrylonitrile plastic bottles were introduced to the public without independent testing and later had to be withdrawn from the market.
Nurdle (plastic pellet) spills are a major problem. Includes profile of Diane Wilson, who sued plastic manufacturers over huge vinyl chloride spills.

#DerailedTrain in Ohio Carried Chemical Used to Make #PVC, ‘the Worst’ of the Plastics Scientists say PVC is trouble for people and the environment throughout its lifecycle, from manufacturing to disposal, and is almost never recycled.
#VinylChloride is classified as a known human #carcinogen.

What is happening in the U.S. of A.?

This looks and partly reads like a massive #catastrophy yet it is hard to find any major coverage.

So this isn't me saying "oh, don't worry", just that it's possible for this to be a disaster for the aquatic ecosystem, without causing long-term contamination that would make it unsafe to eat fish that re-populate the river in a few years, for example.

Eating them will probably be unsafe for the normal reasons like heavy metals and PCBs.

All of that said, there's concern over dioxin release from the fire, it's valid to worry that vinyl chloride contaminated things we don't know about, AND that that wasn't the only chemical involved.

Corporations lie as much as cops do.

It was just a thought that occurred to me, that might helpful as this disaster unfolds.

Yikes…who thought people in #Ohio would experience a real life toxic #train wreck eerily like the one in the #absurdist movie White Noise!
