Was there a chemical incident in your area recently?
New map from Coalition to Prevent Chemical Disasters shows that the #ohiotrainderailment is one of 224 chemical incidents that have happened since January 1, 2022.
That's about every 2 days.

With two big moves, the Biden administration just capped off a very bad week for the PVC plastics industry.
1. Crackdown on vinyl flooring imports
2. Made-in-USA directive for infrastructure
Plus: vinyl chloride train fire in Ohio.

Last night was the one year anniversary of a fire at a fertilizer plant in Winston-Salem that nearly triggered a major explosion.
Firefighters on the scene had been told "if this building ever catches fire- run in the opposite direction."
