When they "burned" the Vinyl Chloride, there is no way they got 100% of it.
That shit has a half-life of:
* 3.2 days in the air
* 280 days in topsoil
* 1400 days in surface water
* 4400 days in groundwater
That means it takes over 12 years for the concentration to drop by just 50% in groundwater and almost 4 years in surface water.
Eastern Ohio is fucked, and PA isn't in great shape either. When that shit rains down, the area that gets the rain is going to be an instant cancer-cluster. When it gets into the Ohio river basin... gg farmland. You better make sure your produce doesn't come from there!
