Reply to comment by JimBones31 in Despite 'dirty rain,' DEP says Maine will likely not be affected by Ohio train disaster by DrMcMeow

>where do you think the rain is getting contaminated from?

Meteorologists who have been asked similar questions point to dust from OK and TX. They also note that several weather systems have gone thru the east coast since Feb 3 and that if any part of the smoke/debris cloud remains, it is over the north Atlantic and northern Europe.

So the site is done contaminating the air?

No longer a fire at the site, and has not been a fire for over a week. No smouldering, either.

Very good. We don't need a fire though for chemicals to contaminate the air.

Air readers on the ground and in the air are not finding this contamination you seem focused on. What chemicals do you think is in the air there and is also in Maine?

If the air readers aren't finding any, apparently none.
