About #EastPalestine in #Ohio. #Dioxins are a persistent pollutant They are released for example when burning plastic waste such as #PVC and the criteria is that the more chlorine is present in what is burned, the more dioxins are released
#VinylChloride is a precursor of PVC that when burning forms #HydrogenChloride vapor -boils at 48ºC- #CarbonMonoxide and #CarbonDioxide and very little #Phosgene
If chlorine volatilized in #HydrogenChloride,#Dioxins will be less of a problem

#Hydrochloricacid (#HCl) is a powerful, corrosive acid that is used in a variety of industrial processes. Dissolving #hydrogenchloride in water produces it. Many products, including food additives, pharmaceuticals, and cleaning agents, contain HCl. It is also used to refine sugar, process steel, and treat water. The demand for HCl is driven by its various industrial applications, and it is one of the world's top ten most produced chemicals.

Vinyl chloride’s other byproduct, hydrogen chloride, is unstable acidic gas and reacts with water to form hydrochloric acid.
Importantly, these chemicals are heavier than air and can settle in low lying areas like basements. #eastpalestine #vinylchloride #hydrochloricAcid #hydrogenchloride
