Here is the latest update from EPA's efforts on-the-ground in East Palestine, Ohio:
▪️ As of last night, we have screened 459 homes and no detections of vinyl chloride or hydrogen chloride have been identified.
▪️ We continue to lead 24/7 community air monitoring.— EPA Great Lakes (@EPAGreatLakes) February 15, 2023
It may not show up in well water for years.
You get what you pay for right ? They need to screen in homes where animals are dying from vinyl chloride.
Those people do not trust the EPA under Joe Biden. They want a totally independent outfit to do the testing. I do not blame them.
Perhaps a GiveSendGo could be set up for them to pay for it.
“EPA is doing tests for free; “
The federal government tested the water at Camp Lejeune for 30 years before it acknowledge it was poisoning the people living and working at the base. For another 20 years the USMC, Department of the Navy, and Department of Defense fought providing healthcare assistance to indigent veterans, dependents, and civilian workers whose health was destroyed by the toxic water. It wasn’t until Congress finally intervened that the Department of Veterans Affairs started providing some healthcare and the victims were given the right to sue.
I’m not sure I would believe the EPA or any agency of the government.
I would not trust the EPA tests, free or otherwise. The people in that area need to get an independent lab - and I mean INDEPENDENT - no current or prospective fedgov contracts to be bribed with. e.t.c. If they set up a fund, I think many people will contribute and there are smaller labs that will be attracted to this niche opportunity. After all, it is about their health, and their children and grandchildren.
Otherwise it is like asking the Fibbers and the DOJ to investigate the Hillary emails or the Hunter laptop.
