I know a lot of toxic poison got out from the "'accident"' and they say it only effected something like a ten mile radius. I think that's bullshit, at a minimum I bet it's about 100 miles before it starts not being a serious hazard.

Do y'all think about 300 miles from the site would be safe

The wind patterns took all those toxins East. I avoid traveling and eating that direction. The event that took place at E. Palestine was HUGE, and long lasting. That entire town is a wasteland for decades now. Insane that that place wasn't sealed up, and surface soil not removed from the fallout.

woah, thank you for the compilation. its kind of terrifying! guess Indiana is out of the question, unless they stop reporting oily film by the end of the year

You never cease to amaze me. Thank you for all these maps!

You'll want to also see watershed and water table maps to see which day the ground water flows, and what which bodies of water that flows into. Don't be downstream from that.

Never been to Ohio but I hear the place sucks.

I am in Ohio and it does indeed suck. Sucks ass, in fact.

It's not that bad.

Perhaps not as bad as I first painted it. There are lot of Dims and Niggers here. If they all moved out the place would be complete 10,000% more livable.

well, I wouldnt even be considering moving to ohio, even on a good day

It's not that bad here once you get out of the cities.

has the poison from the derailment effected Ohio as a whole at all?

I'm pretty happy with most of nature, it's the degenerates in cities that make life unbearable.

300 west (ok) or east (more suspect)?

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

itd be west, probably closer to 250 miles away

250 miles west of East Palestine, as in Indiana? Safe to say you would not be affected by the derailment.

Trade winds blow east , so west seems much safer.

Another reason to not go north of the river.

You could be a mile away and never be affected by a chemical spill if the prevailing winds and elevation favors you. You could be 500 miles away downstream though and be poisoned without even knowing why. Hell, you could be halfway around the world and eat/drink meat,crops/well water from ground zero and die.

I wouldn't move within 100 miles of a toxic spill knowingly.

One day I'll tell the story of the Burnt Fly Bog in New Jersey. Spooky.

which direction?

west

Edit: west

feeling pretty retarded saying east especially when i just posted west. Must have been before I had my coffee this morning

east

Find out the best estimate you can get of the total volume of hazardous materials released in the accident. Convert that volume to molar mass using the recorded density values of the materials for the given volume. Select a radius you want to test out. Get the area of circle of the radius. Divide the molar mass by that area to get molecule count per unit area. Decide how many molecules per unit area is scary to you and try other radii if you thinks it's too scary or not scary enough. Rinse and repeat.

How many molecules of vinyl chloride per square foot is scary to you?

You are assuming fallout has perfectly uniform distribution. It doesn't. Rain at the wrong time, prevailing winds, all of this shit is a factor. You have to test the specific area.

OP is assuming the same thing. I'm making it uniform to prove a point. That point is the larger the area, the lower the concentration. There was not enough material released to warrant a 300-mile radius fear as OP implied. Also, the materials burned which changed them chemically and made other compounds. Much of the new compounds were not hazardous (CO2 and water and such). The hypothetical scenario needs only answered by a hypothetical answer. I did that to show the absurdity of being overly fearful here.

I am being fearful out of ignorance, my fear is not unrealistic until i have evidence that I shouldn't worry about it. My life, family and health means alot more to me than it does to you and i'm acting according to what I currently know about the poison and its impact on the environment that may effect our health. I really wouldnt mind going around testing everything, though it seems like you suggested it to state how absurd the question at hand is. Whether the air or ground is poisoned and livable in the long term is not a hypothetical concern, and it does need a real answer, preferably not provided by you. Why are you even commenting on this post if you dont respect the question or the answer? Dont answer that, it's a rhetorical question.
