Carol van Strum and Eric Coppolino address residents of East Palestine
An organization is forming called United for East Palestine. Carol & I were asked to present what we know about the dioxin problem and how to handle it. We have both been through local dioxin events.
Planet Waves FM is published by Chiron Return - Pacifica Radio Network. We are a commercial free program that began on Radio Woodstock in September 1996.

Tonight author and dioxin historian Carol van Strum and I spoke to residents of East Palestine, Ohio, prepping them for what might happen in the coming months. This was sponsored by the nascent group United for East Palestine.
Here is our dioxin resource for citizens and journalists. We will continue to update this page with resources as they become necessary.

CLARIFICATION ON THE TOXICITY ISSUE TO ADULTS
Dioxin exposure is not like arsenic. For adults, most who react will start to feel sick; it’s distinctly “flu like” as I’ve had this. Some will get rashes, which is about the slow death of their liver. The rash is an indication of systemic poisoning.
But due to our greater body weight, adults can handle a little more, for a while. What it does to adults is create a kind of time bomb; miscarriages; infertility; hormone disruption; cancers; three generations of genetic damage (I have all of this either firsthand or from the companies own documents).
Children can get extremely ill and die. Animals — pets and livestock — can be killed immediately, along with wildlife. The birds are all gone from the whole area. So the smaller one’s body, the more it acts like an acute poison rather than a long-term disruptor of every system. And we all already bear a body-burden of the stuff, measured in parts per trillion in blood adipose tissue.
Dioxin is a trace contaminant of other toxins, like Agent Orange and PCBs. So it rides along with them, and is also created in a burn situation. We are witnessing a worst case scenario. Thousands of tons (nine railroad cars of chlorinated chemicals) went up, and burned in proximity of other hydrocarbons (vegetables, wheat, motor oil, etc.) and so this turns the ordinary cargo into hazmat when they are burned together.
This is an extinction level kind of event. There are 125,000 farms in PA and OH. It will concentrate in the food and be shipped all over the world. The only potentially worse dioxin release in a single incident was the World Trade Center, and I don’t think it was bad, and much of that smoke blew out to see, adding to the background level in the oceans.
There was no logical reason to set this ablaze.
There were three incidents of the burning wheels caught on a surveillance system designed for the purpose.
