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

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
