How do I make money off this ? Gas mask sales ? Asking for a friend

I have no idea how to interpret what I'm reading here

The date looks like from the 8th of February. It seems to have already passed

Guess we're* all dead now from the toxicity levels

I guess so

08 Feb 23

It’s a visual if that was approaching 9 days ago and is long gone now

I teach a chemical radiological biological and nuclear safety course

Plastic sheeting and duct tape/flex tape? I read that in the event of toxic air you shut off anything in your home with indoor/outdoor air exchange and seal your windows/doors with plastic and tape.

You think this is bad? Check out the nuclear fallout projection maps. Going up to camp during a nuclear war isn’t going to save your @$$.

Oh nice. I was in chemical operations in the army. I taught some NBC courses as well.

I think this was released based on the winds right after the fire began. The winds shifted pretty quickly after. I think the fall out was more South east

I think it's still hard to say if we breathed in a lot of this or not. It's floating higher up as it gets closer to us, moving fast and diluting.

It's not good at all but I don't think we should panick compared to what we are breathing in on a daily basis

Maybe it's just wider now?

Solution to pollution is dilution. —Watershed mgmt fac in the ‘80s

This is what was going on in central Maine on February 10th. That's 2 days after what the map shows. I don't think it's a coincidence

Yeah that's ass. I'd love to breath actual clean air but that won't happen. At least this doesn't pose an immediate health risk any more than the asbestos in the air from brake pads

Damn , hope Canada is sending Ohio a bill .

That’s not how weather works

I was thinking because the wreck is still producing so much pollution. I'm aware the weather would have otherwise carried the initial stuff away.

Okay

Oh cool, so if I was skiing in the rain at Sugarloaf on February 10...

Maine historically get its pollution from the Ohio rust-belt area. I can remember in the 80s all the acid rain.

Fallout projection maps are mostly BS based on silly assumptions that all the bombs go off on the ground.

You will be just fine up at camp until you starve to death.

The river smelling like shit just happens sometimes

Well, shit, why did I keep going to work then?

We're all in hell, sorry bud, were just not good enough for the pearly gates and bliss.

Me shitting and puking my guts out yesterday really was a sign of the end times...

Ooof, I hope today treats you far better

Also... Uh... Username checks out?

😂😂😂

Dude so many people will pay to learn military shit it’s insane

From what I've read and seen (mostly from reddit), the winds shifted to the NW and so Youngstown and area got the brunt of it.

Is it?

Is it still producing pollution? Yeah.

lol what I read was from Reddit, so honestly, who knows

But it's not still burning, so how is it producing air pollution? I know it's in the water and that has an impact on the food chain, etc.

Burning or not, it's still venting out into the air.

I don't have a technical degree, but do you mean there are trace chemicals in the tanks or soil that are off gassing?

Yes. Like, things don't have to be burning to be polluting. If you've ever pumped gasoline and smelled it in the air, that's "venting into the atmosphere" but not burning.

I'm confident we are breathing it in.

I was also shitting and puking my guts out yesterday....

It already passed us for one. And secondly I never said we weren't breathing it in.

I suggested that the amount we actually inhale is unknown and isn't going to be the same concentration as the site of the contamination. Meaning, I don't think we should worry just uet because we aren't breathing in much more chemicals than a normal day

Its still smoldering. Just because the fire is out doesnt mean it's not still outputting chemicals. We already breathe in too much. Any more is too much.

Same deal with the nuclear winter hypothesis. It probably overestimated how much vaporized wood (from wildfires in forests surrounding cities) would get shot into the atmosphere

Although as I understand it a more conservative assumption is that a springtime war could still plausibly result in a sudden cold snap that kills many of the crops in the northern hemisphere, drastically worsening global starvation.

Two of my co workers are currently shitting their brains out, but I'm not....am I....a..GOD?

EPA should be ashamed of themselves. Evacuate the city NOW. You know it’s bad when the wildlife has fled

That explains a lot

Small ‘g’, bruh

☠️

I’m sure we’ll manage to send an estimate in Canadian dollars 😑

Just what Youngstown needs

It obviously wasn’t being reported by anyone else 🙄

Precipitation brings it right back down to earth. Ever hear of acid rain?

The government said the "dirty rain" was just dust. Would the government lie? (haha)

For most people, that tends to boil down to "don't go in it".

Don’t go into it? Not sure you know how this is going to work but you won’t have a choice but to live in it

That's the fun part of American environmental safety reporting... it usually comes in the form of "surprise! you were poisoned a while ago!!" haha.

So many of these things aren't going to kill you straight out, instead you just get spikes in cancer rates in towns for decades and government / companies insisting "that could be from anything" (if people ever question it).

Air quality in Ohio passes all checks. I can guarantee that by the time it arrived in Maine, even more diluted, it still was safe in those quantities.

Air quality checks are all passing, what's the concern?

Water supply and wildlife has disappeared

You're replying to a person who's not mentally well or equipped to handle living In the real worth without handlers. A true idiot if you would be so kind to them as to use gentle hands.

Passing a ppm check doesn't mean the carcinogen that you're breathing is safe. Have you seen the pictures of vehicles in Maine with the brown rain drops on them shortly after the fire occurred. Breathing or breathed, it's an avoidable situation where we were forced to inhale toxic carcinogens and chemical fumes.
