Well done. Concise and precise as well as open ended possibles. Couple this chemical exposure with compromised immune systems.

Thank you! I think there's a lot of issues with how the EPA and Norfolk Southern have handled this situation, but it's also important to look at things within the context of the information provided as well as with respect to unknowns. Whenever clinical information is taken it's always important to recognize that these results need to be compared to an appropriate background. I'm generally raising points but leaving room for changes depending on additional information that comes out.

No sweat. I have a thicker skin than that

I did not intend my comment to be a criticism only a thought.

I didn't take your comment as a criticism. I just added some context about why it was necessary to keep an open mind when looking at these results, especially as people may take such disasters to craft their own narratives. Sorry if my elaboration appeared as a criticism.
