Well, I guess they were labeled incorrectly, then. On purpose.

Have you checked which chemicals are on the list of what is deemed hazardous? It could also be that these werenât on that list as well.
But hey, at least the government is saying the air there is safe to breathe. Just days after one of our biggest environmental disasters. Itâs safe. Thatâs all we need to know. The government says so. Just like the government made us all mask up for two years because of a virus. The government said so. Thatâs all we need to know.
Now move alongâŚ

And of course you have proof of this claimâŚ
I was thinking the train company, but you may be right.
Just putting 2 and 2 together. they were labeled non-hazardous, and yet âResidents were ordered to evacuate when, due to the threat of a possible explosion, authorities chose to breach five tankers filled with vinyl chloride, sending hydrogen chloride and phosgene, a toxic gas, into the air.â
So I will go out on a limb and say they should have been labeled hazardous.
In order to know instead of guess you would need to look up if those substances are on the existing list.

You can start there
So your position is they are not hazardous- regardless?
My position is it is currently unknown if they were on the list of materials that would have required the better brakes under the old regulation. In any case it is know the train wasnât tagged with that level of hazard. SO the regulation had it still been in place wouldnât have mattered.
Someone very knowledgeable above said they were not on the list.
BTW, this is why we need regulations.
We would need to find the list first to know for sure is all I am saying.
Big Pharma should make a jabâŚ
Are they on the list? I donât think vinyl chloride is, I looked and couldnât find it.
Oh they absolutely are, are they on the list?
