    Forever Chemicals in the air, water, and soils but who's going to pay for the medical treatments that people will need within 5-20 years? Everyone living within 20 miles should be able to sue the company for their negligence for not having the proper containment for said chemicals! The states and federal authorities keep lists of people buys cough syrup with codeine in it so they must know who, where, and how these chemicals are stored?

I think chlorine is one of the byproducts of the original reaction. I don’t think there’s too many chemicals in that building that would cause a reaction like that which it touches water, which is what they said started the fire. That’s why I have a feeling that they know exactly what chemical it was but they don’t want to freak people out.
