A train has derailed and spilled a chemical in a remote part of eastern Kentucky, prompting officials to encourage residents of a small town to evacuate amid concerns about air quality.
Two of the derailed cars were carrying molten sulfur, which caught fire after the cars were breached… it is believed that the fire is releasing sulfer dioxide
Sulfer dioxide is pretty nasty on a person’s throat and sinuses to breathe and can make fluid build up in the lungs, and it can have longer-term effects if the exposure is sustained.
