🧵ALARMING: The EPA says #EastPalestineOH's air & water are safe, but its NOT testing for dioxins—"one of them is the most toxic chemical ever tested in the U.S." -science director Steven Lester

Dioxins cause cancer, reproductive/developmental/immune problems, diabetes, etc...
"EPA had to know when they were going to burn vinyl chloride that dioxin would be formed. It's CRIMINAL that they didn't come forward w/ that. It's in some ways up to folks in this room & town to hold them accountable," -Steven Lester, science director Center for Health &… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
"Dioxins once they are in the soil they don't break down very easily...because they are big and heavy they tend to accumulate in certain pools and that includes sometimes inside of organisms [like fish you consume]" -Dr. Carla Ng, Professor University of Pittsburgh Civil and… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
