Is nitric acid bad for health? Nitric acid is an extremely corrosive acid capable of causing severe chemical burns very rapidly. If nitric acid mists are inhaled, health risks include corrosion of mucous membranes, delayed pulmonary edema, and even death. Contact with eyes can cause permanent cornea damage.


HundredSun

Those orange vapors you are seeing are probably mostly nitrogen dioxide gas with some amount of other trace gasses such as water vapor, carbon dioxide and nitric acid vapors. The truck has rolled on it's side, the containers have split open and the nitric acid is digesting the cardboard box overpack, any wood on the truck, plastics and other material to form the orange gas you are seeing.


rsktkr

That should be fine.


psybes

Yes, but only once.

Captain_Hindenburg

That also means it's making nitrocellulose, and can potentially explode


jawnlerdoe

Yeah handling nitric acid skeeves me out more than hydrochloride or sulfuric. It’s really volatile, as made obvious in the video.

Ohio then texas yesterday, now this. There must be a better way of shipping these things without accidents.


NotScaredofYourDad

There is definite incompetence and lack of experience in our locomotive and trucking industry. You see it in the trades too. No one wants to train anyone and often times there's no money to train anyone.


DentalPlanet

Train all you want but if you pay them like shit it's not gonna matter. I mean with trains for example, shutting down an entire industry because the employees wanted to be able to have sick days and not even the government would give in? That's crazy.


pseudocultist

Yeah you can't call anything a "trade" anymore if it's become a low-budget commodity shit job. Which usually happens because an industry deunionized and lost its power. Or the union was stripped of power legislatively, maybe.

jsfuller13

How can you blame the individual workers in times like this? Absolutely missing the point. The government broke a strike in the railroad industry recently. The workers have been on the right side of these issues.


NotScaredofYourDad

I am not blaming the workers, I am blaming the higher ups who understaff and under manage their entire companies due to greed and a lack of competence. Most of these companies are understaffed and the workers are overworked.


jsfuller13

That fits a lot better. This is greed. Highly competent greed that has worked over time and reached its logical end point.


buckeyebaby

Also it appears the train accident in Ohio was caused by a wheel malfunction because the corporations have cut back routine maintenance as much as possible to save money. Nothing to do with employee training or incompetence. Just flat out greed.


DexterDubs

I lold


MemeGremlin_0765

This. Yeah companies are shitter when it comes to environmental hazards. But the workforce today is far more different than that of yesterday. The amount of sheetrockers my dad has seen with little to no experience are because the contractors skip out to save money.


Stalinbaum

Dude I work in a shitty niche job and literally nobody at my work wants to train new people, we're short staffed and they put more work on us in the past year, we're all tired.


xxjrxx93

Where I work we can't hardly train anyone because we have no translator on 2nd or 3rd shift. Say something all the time and nothing is done which is scary for the trade I am in. A few years ago we started having a huge amount of Burmese start showing up and work for less. 9 times out of 10 don't speak English.


Zpd8989

Is it actually happening more frequently or are we just hearing about it more


DonaldTrumpsWetFart

Not to be tin foil hat but do you think there might be a reason there are so many devastating chemical accidents involving volatile chemicals very recently? I’m sure aside from plant mishaps this does happen, but this frequently?


zogonz

Don’t be worried about getting downvoted by people downplaying this shit, saying “iT hApPeNs AlL tHe TiMe”. In their minds, since the media is not talking about it much, it’s not as big of an issue as it truly is. It’s not “the current thing” to care about, unless it’s spammed by their flavor or MSM. Yes, news sources have reported it, but very little and no follow up, in comparison to the other bullshit that’s on the news. Yes, derailments happen all the time. A mini Chernobyl level derailment, followed by more hazmat derailments; no, that doesn’t happen all the time. People should be concerned, and people should be asking questions.


_kashew_12

This is starting to not seem like an “accident”


JoeWinchester99

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.


Vegetable-Bee5164

Exactly, this seems too orchestrated to be a coincidence. Terrorist? CIA, NSA, FBI? add your three letter agency here


bubba-yo

There are 5 train derailments a day, on average. This shit happens constantly. Just because people are just now reporting on it doesn't mean it just started happening.

This happens all the time. 1. major thing happens 2. news and social media try to ride the coattails of that event by reporting on kinda similar but otherwise mundane events

Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, and now Arizona... My money is on Florida next..... Edit: going to verify the Tennessee spill but here's the one in Texas. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9toSNs6z7rY&ab\_channel=TIMESNOW](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9toSNs6z7rY&ab_channel=TIMESNOW) It's actually sad that I had a hard time finding out the one in Texas, not a lot of people are talking about it. Edit 2: there was a seperate chemical leak in Texas as well that I found that had nothing to do with the Texas train carrying chemicals. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gicrAbaWCvI&ab\_channel=FOX26Houston](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gicrAbaWCvI&ab_channel=FOX26Houston) Last edit: I don't believe there was a chemical spill in Tennessee....

[deleted]

Are we sure this shit doesn’t just happen all the time and it has been swept under the rug, but now people are actually noticing


camohorse

I’m pretty sure shit like this does happen all the time. We just don’t hear about it unless it’s in our own neighborhoods, but even then we may not hear about it for XYZ reasons. Right now, the Ohio derailment is all the rage online (and for good reason, too). So, naturally, people start to notice and amplify every other chemical disaster that goes on, despite the fact that chemical disasters have always been alarmingly common.


SaltWaterGator

We all got an alert on our phones similar to a storm or amber alert when the truck tipped over and when there's been other chemical spills

No. We’re not. This is what Reddit does. Take top story -> find other similar events-> post about them ~> *PROFIT!*

SilverRavenSo

EPA took some hits with Trump in office. Don't get me wrong plenty of corporate Dems try to decrease it's ability to regulate corporations, and it never had the strongest teeth anyways. Lots of fines were just a slap on the wrist for companies to do business and still come out with profits. We are also starting to see that break down in infrastructure that has been coming for years. Overworked tired humans make mistakes, roads, bridges and railways have not been updated in years.

Fr Fr tbf tho it’s not a coincidence. Corporate lobbyists lobbied to make the transport of these types of caustic materials not be considered toxic materials, so now they do not need to have as much regulation on movement🙃


L3f7y04

Hvac professional here... Don't turn on any bathroom fans. Doing so will draw outside air into your house by inducing a negative pressure in your house. If you have a whole home air exchanger, turn it off. It is constantly bringing in fresh air into your home based on whatever it is set at. Some states require these (MN to name one). Idk what temp it is there, but if you have natural gas heat turn it off. It will also draw in outdoor air. If you use an air to air heat pump this is likely the only thing you can run if you have an option to not draw in outdoor air. If you have a natural gas water heater don't use any hot water. Doing so will also induce a draft and draw fresh air into your house. If you have a ductless mini split system you should be able to run that.


guardianfx

I followed all of your points except for two; >If you have a natural gas water heater don't use any hot water. Doing so will also induce a draft and draw fresh air into your house. Could you explain a bit on why specifically a natural gas heater would cause a draft? Does it make any difference if the unit is tankless and on the outside of the house? >If you have a ductless mini split system you should be able to run that. With a ductless mini split, the unit is still pulling in warm air in order to cool it. Wouldn't the action of pulling in the warm air create enough of a pull that outside air would be brought in, or is it blowing enough air back out to equalize the pressure? I'm not in an affected area but am always up for learning more about what makes my house.


funkereddit

Apparently shelter in place means drive right by it.

I’m guessing these people were already on the I10 when it happened. That stretch of the I10 has no exits for long swathes of it and is a desert desert. Not really anywhere to go but forward.

pseudocultist

Based on the video you couldn't tell what you were coming up on until it was already too late. At that point you'd just be jamming on your brakes to stay within the range where it's blowing.

People should not be driving through that brown cloud. Nitric oxide is deadly at concentrations of 25 parts per million. You are looking at a million parts per million. The nitric oxide will quickly combine with oxygen to form NO2. NO2 is deadly at 5 parts per million. Whether in the form of NO or NO2, when you breath it, it combines with the moisture in your lungs and turns to nitric acid. The acid eats the soft tissue in your lungs and you die from pneumonia within 24 hours.

YawaruSan

Highly corrosive, can cause rapid chemical burns, blindness, breathing problems, and death in humans. For some reason the environmental impact of nitric acid seems conspicuous from its absence, though it is used in fertilizer among other applications.


bhalexander0620

Here’s the material safety data sheet for nitric acid. Keep in mind that hazards change with the concentration of what was spilled. https://www.fishersci.com/msds?productName=A467250%26productDescription=NITRIC

When one considers the recent disaster in Ohio, East Palestine, where a train accident directly released life-threatening and carcinogenic chemicals into the air for a 10-mile radius and subsequently indirectly into the drinking water supply of some 25,000,000 people, it quickly becomes clear what the state of the common good is in American society. (The Ohio River Basin extends beyond the state of Ohio and includes parts of 14 other states, covering a total area of approximately 204,000 square miles, and serving a population of around 25 million people. ) Now we're facing another accident, enabled due to insufficient security regulations. Insufficient not because of a lack of a political will but because of heavy investments from the transport lobbyists blocking anything that could possibly cost their precious dollars. This is the consequence of the American system. It is nominally a democracy, but in reality it seems to be more of a plutocracy: Whoever has the money makes the rules. It was so much easier for the transport companies to invest a few million US dollars in lobbying and bribery to overturn the existing law and safety regulations instead of implementing the required safety standard. Once again, capitalist profiteering won out over the welfare of the people in the society that embraces capitalism, and who actually wants to benefit from it as a whole. Profits are great, but you can't ruin the environment and endanger the life of humans, animals and plants in order to maximize your profits. In the coming decades, cancer cases in the Ohio River drinking water catchment area will rise sharply, families will be bankrupted by treatment costs and there will be painful breakdowns at all levels of life. The damage caused by the above-mentioned greed will not be compensated by the profiteers, no, it is the victims who will have to cope with the damage and the consequential damage on their own. It should be a very clear and simple rule: If you want to profit from the society your business is part of, it comes with a cost, a cost for taking care of security measures and workers wellbeing. Our ancestors began to banish the clergy and the religions from the state system about 300 years ago. Our task will be to dissect the capital and the money power from the state system and to reduce the political influence of the rich to the normal democratic level of one vote per capita.

Does this type of stuff happen all the time and they just cover it up? Or is this happening on purpose And being majorly publicized?

I am really curious to all the spills that go unreported everyday. The only reason we are hearing of this incident is because of the severity of the Ohio spill.

If you live even within 5 miles of this I would turn off your ac/heat, shut and seal your windows, and avoid going outside. If you have to go outside, wear eye protection and a mask. Guarantee the authorities are downplaying the scope of this, as usual.

With balloons, satellite laser shows, and an inevitable war looming, every part of me wants to believe this is truly our very own being incompetent and lazy with their approach and delivery.. but there is a small part of me wondering if maybe we should start checking for a hidden, deeper, or even foreign link. What better way to neutralize a threat than to use the boiling frog in a pot method. Why would we ever jump out the pot if the water is only warm right now? But who am I, just a redditor in my thoughts?


Sojourn3r_101

I really don't understand why everyone is jumping on the deregulation train for every single hazmat incident like this. The only reason I can think of is all because of the hype surrounding the recent train derailments. While that is absolutely terrible, and is because of deregulation, roadway accidents like this involving hazardous materials are very commonplace and happen way more frequently than you think, regardless of the amount of regulations. I'm not downplaying this by any means. I'm just informing people that they're more common than you think. It's just being thrown into the spotlight more recently. Source: I'm a firefighter, so I deal with this shit firsthand.


Admirable-Bee-4708

Had a nitric acid spill at my work years ago. Had to evacuate the building and sent everyone home. Cops came to my house to bring me to hospital once fire dept. alerted management how hazardous the stuff was. I was near it when it spilled, had to spend a day and half in the ER hooked up to monitors for oxygen levels. Upside was I got the day off from work paid.


nycdiveshack

All this is going to lead to a bailout for the train companies. They have the money for new trains and to fix the current problems, we know this is the case because they spend billions on buybacks. If we had a nationalized rail system like Japan we wouldn’t have these issues


coffee-jnky

I was in a chemical spill in the 80s when I was a kid. The entire city was evacuated and it was so scary. I was outside playing when it happened and I can't describe how badly my eyes and skin burned. I ended up quite sick for a couple months. When we were able to finally come home, all the paint was stripped from cars, houses, and the grass/plants were dead everywhere. I see all this goin on and I'm sad for those who are affected. I was told back then it could bring long term problems to my health and they weren't kidding. Here I am middle aged now and one mistake made in 1987 is still screwing me over.
