I live within 6 miles of disaster in New Waterford and have a rental home less than 500 feet from derailment. I've been worried about the fallout since day one and the particulate which is evident on my property. Heard this touched on briefly during first couple days. Had the EPA and CTEH and environmental firm at my property last Saturday checking for VOC'S. Had higher readings supposedly more than they had seen previously. In the 460 ppb range..I kept asking about particulate and was stated they aren't looking for that. Due to the "elevated" readings they pulled a drager tube looking for Vinyl Chloride with none detected. We have a town hall meeting tomorrow I plan to attend. Can you please educate me on how we detect or determine if Dioxin is present on our property or in our homes. I've worked in the chemical industry over 30 years and am familiar with air monitoring and gas detection equipment but have no idea how we find out if this poison is in our homes. Help us please get to the bottom of this disaster. Furthermore, how or what should I do to protect my young boys. I know your not a toxicologist but have much more information than this ignorant victim of Norfolk Southern and our supposed EPA.
The EPA representative who was at my property when I peppered her with questions knew I was aware of how bad this was and was right in asking about the particulate. She stated I need to keep my foot on the accelerator until I get the answers required.
Greatly atly appreciate you putting this out here for us to educate ourselves. We are not being told or informed about anything other than the air is safe "for what we are looking for" which is legalese for we work for Norfolk Southern and you people are screwed
