@benkostka @scotseeker FYI:
The byproduct caused by burning vinyl chloride is called hydrogen chloride.

When it hits the water vapor in the air it forms hydrochloric acid.

The controlled burn of the rail tankers resulted in hundreds of thousands of pounds of acid being released into the environment - this is the largest vinyl chloride spill/fire in the history of the planet (the only other spill was a single tanker in New Jersey but authorities, in that case, didn't set fire to the chemical. So what will the long-term effects be from this incident? No one is sure and the media isn't even slightly interested in helping the American people find out.

Why have heads of the DOT, EPA, and FEMA remained silent about the massive train derailment in Ohio? At least one reporter was arrested and jailed for attempting to cover the event. What is going on?

What is Hydrochloric Acid?
Hydrogen chloride acid is a colorless, corrosive, liquid that fumes in air at high concentrations of 25% or more, and becomes a hydrogen chloride gas forming dense white vapors due to condensation with atmospheric moisture. The vapor is corrosive, and air concentrations above 5 ppm can cause irritation. Hydrogen chloride is available commercially as an anhydrous gas or as aqueous solutions (hydrochloric acid). When heated, it generates larges quantities of hydrochloric acid fumes. If the concentration of hydrochloric acid gas in the air is 0.035%, humans will have a pain in the throat and chest, and have difficulty in breathing within 10 minutes. The inhalation of a large quantity of hydrochloric acid gas or mist may result in death.
