Is that a risk you'd take with your own life, or just a risk you think other people should take with their own lives but not yours?

Well like I said I used to be a chemist so I was exposed to organic vapors every day. if the dioxins are there they will be very easy to measure.

For starters, you could acknowledge that a train explosion is already well outside normal lab conditions for vinyl chloride. Don't pretend you know what compounds were formed in this accident. Modeling this incident as a low exposure (see: your dismissal of the carcinogenic nature of vinyl chloride) to the pure substance is absurd.

Put your life where your mouth is and go live there.
