As if Vinyl Chloride wasn't sufficient.
One of Camp Lejeune's contaminants was TCE. A breakdown component of TCE is called Vinyl Chloride. Vinyl Chloride can be absorbed through the skin, inhaled and ingested. It's bad in vapor form.
Marines at Camp Lejeune used TCE as a degreaser. Think about that because your brain is made of fatty tissue. The implications are serious.
As a matter of fact, TCE is the chemical that BP dumped into the Gulf of Mexico to disperse their oil spill. TCE's breakdown component, Vinyl Chloride, is bad when inhaled. If the immediate health effects don't get you, then you should watch for the long-term health effects of each chemical (and its breakdown components) involved in the spill.
Ask Camp Lejeune families about their experiences. Cancer, Parkinsons, miscarriages come to mind.
The Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry (ATSDR) used to be a decent source of information. Don't know about now. Wonder if it's been scrubbed?
The EPA (and other agencies) have a history with Vinyl Chloride. They know what this stuff is and what it does. In Anon's opinion, Camp Lejeune and other military bases were the test run for what is happening now.
Brings a whole new meaning to NCSWIC and precipice.
Certain powerful elements in this world hold a great disrespect for Veterans and their families. The mistreatment of military families has been, in Anon's opinion, largely overlooked by most Americans in the interest of pursuing their day to day lives. Anon truly prays that their apathy has not come home to roost.
Time for a prayer.
Father in Heaven, please hold your children in your hand and protect them from the powers working against them. Protect them from the contrivances of their enemies. In Jesus' name, Amen.
