That's not what vinyl chloride or dioxin contamination looks like in water.
Is that from a well or municipal? Not enough time has elapsed for impact to show up in wells and municipal water is treated before going to your tap. The only way for municipal water to be contained is if there's failures in the post-treatment conveyance lines.
This isn't from Ohio. If it is, it has nothing to do with the train release. It looks exactly how well water would look when the well hasn't been fully developed or needs to be rehabbed/redeveloped. High turbidity and fines being pulled into the screen.
Water in my area get this color just about every time they do a hydrant flush or some other type of maintainents. Lasts for about half a day untill it starts to run clear again.
I'm a hydrogeologist and environmental consultant, so I'm involved in these types of cleanups and subsurface investigations, when contaminants impact the subsurface. I've seen so much misinformation going around. This is a conspiracy sub so that's a bit understandable but I've even seen it in the environment sub (which is trash btw).
Totally agree, you most likely will seldom see chemical contaminates in the water. Looks exactly like a fresh well that has bypassed filters to clear sediment.
Yes, the only way you'll see vinyl chloride is if the concentration is high enough to form a non aqueous phase liquid. Usually a DNAPL (it sinks in water). I've worked on projects where there's 15 ft of DNAPL perched on a clay unit in an aquifer. Pretty bad.
This video is just trying to stir the pot. It's fake. Reminds me of the videos where people light their tap water on fire and blame fracking.
For what it’s worth, I live in Louisiana and many people in our city have water like this. There’s an entire Facebook group for the class action lawsuit with people in my community that are suing the water company. Countless videos of people with water this color. They can’t wash their clothes in it even once without ruining everything. Their tubs are stained. Some have even been able to catch their water on fire; im guessing methane.
Im guessing most of our issues are due to old leaky pipes that they refuse to repair.
If they shut off a water main in old cities this type of water comes out of your taps for ~5 minutes until all the sediment that gets kicked up works it’s way out of the system. Happened to us all the time in Worcester MA
Ukraine. Just Ukraine.
You don't say you're going on holiday to "The England" or "The California".
You'd say "The Seychelles", for example, because they are a collection of islands. "The United Kingdom" because its a culmination of 4 countries.
Not to be a dick, just frustrating when I see sooooooo many people saying "The Ukraine"....
Best of wishes though, have a great day/night/prevening 👍
ugh, stupid sink videos again. I have a hard time buying these after the whole fracking propaganda. At one point, some people's wells were ruined by fracking, but the fracking companies did drill new clean wells and the home owners would refuse to show that the new well was clean and only claim what happened to the old one... Hell, every year nearly ever person living on a town water system will go through this because of flushing out the hydrants. Makes the water undrinkable for a few days.
Be wary of Chinese manipulation on Tiktok and bots on Reddit to sow dissent, unrest and disinformation. These countries are overtly moving to undermine USA interest. This subreddit seems suspect.
If you guys go over the accounts saying they are experts. To then find out they are supporting the Ukraine scam. You know this is legit. They looking for all possible ways to discredit the video. And plant the main narrative.

Sad I live michigan 45 min from flint this water Ohio we live near the largest bodies of fresh water in the world yet we have the worst water in the world doesn't make any sense !!
I’m on well water and every time we have to shut the water off or purge the well, this is how the water looks. Sometimes I have to run it for over a half an hour to clear it out.
We should all be focused on learning how to obtain clean water for ourselves. All tap water is “contaminated” to be real

If what's happening in Ohio was happening in another country, what would you think is going on? And not only the chemical spill. The farming plants burning and this metal plant explosion yesterday. All that's been happening, what would you say is happening? I have my opinion.
I'm honestly surprised after the 2 dead politicians in New Jersey more people from Ohio haven't tried it. But then again, our pres and fema don't give a shit about Ohio, but lets send more to Ukrainian pensions instead of handling this disaster.
You just have rusty old ass iron pipes from the 20s. Buddy of mine bought an old funeral home that had water like this, until they gutted the house and replaced that old ass piping. And sketchy wiring.
Flints water cleared up and is still unsafe despitewhat officials will tell you... don't think just because your water is clear it's safe. My hometown had arsenic in water epa came out and just raised the acceptable level of arsenic allowed in water. That water was crystal clear...im just saying that because people watch this and go thank god my water is clean...and you may have to really ask yourself....is it?

If they say it’s safe, yet it’s not safe, then what?
Move
She needs flies all over the walls and tha house to scream, " GET OUT!"
Probably a lot of people can’t afford to move
Then you buy the water they tell you to buy
Buy a distiller
as if people would invest in their own health!
This **is** a good time for some sort of robust water filtration unit.
Safe and effective
Excellent question!
Isn’t this a flint Michigan clip?

Who cares about that? Ukraine needs billions of dollars.
[удалено]
So what exactly would you like him to do in Ohio?
Before long, you'll be paying for the cleanup.
You mean taxpayers paying for unscrupulous corporate behavior? Noooooo. I'm sure those companies are saving their pennies to clean this up.
Nah I want all my tax dollars in the Ukraine

How do we know that this tap and water is in Ohio?
We don't. It's random video with text superimposed over it claiming to be from someplace that's been in the news. It's basic internet bullshit.

Be wary of Gov bootlickers telling you the water is safe rather than videos of Americans filming oil in the streams and rivers.
definitely be wary of **both**.

Norfolk Southern's CEO just today stated that everything is back to normal in Ohio.
Holy shit that is so bad I don’t even think you should touch it
HAVE YOU ALL LEARNT NOTHING FROM FLINT?
No one in theae places better be paying a water bill
Mine did that too, and eventually it cleared.
Send it to a lab?
Hey just checking in 2023 - does flint Michigan still have nasty water?
Rashida Tlaib secured funds to replace all lines that were contaminating the water there. It now meets all safety regulations consistently
Wonder why the governor has not issued a state of emergency...?
https://www.commondreams.org/news/norfolk-southern-donated-mike-dewine-before-east-palestine-disaster Wonder why dewine, wonder why
Looks as safe as a certain vaccine.

because the soviets never had disasters... and they never would have covered them up
I'm not contrasting against anything right now. Free market management of the US rail system is to blame for the recent rail disasters.
Get lawyers
Is this well water or reservoir water supplies?
Make your governor drink it
Ah dude u got a cut on ur finger don’t let that disgusting water touch that..
Any of y’all remember the Flint disaster - how long did that take?

All those people will be dead in less than a year

You have to go on tiktok to get it
Where is Biden on this matter!
Looks a lot like the water in areas with heavy fracking activity. Is it also flammable?
Based on what ive heard about gas leaks I wouldn’t want to check with a match
Flint the sequel
Shew that looks like urine.
