Talk:Seveso disaster

message: The article should go into the :Category:Waste disposal incidents as the waste from the decontamination of the chemical plant vanished for a very long time. This missing waste and the hunt for it was a very important matter at the start of the 1980s. Cadmium

replies: text: You are so correct! I studied this accident as part of my thesis in '96, and the description here of what caused it is totally incorrect.  My home thesis copy is temp mislaid, but I've one at work.  I plan to properly describe (and cite the original publication) what chain (and it's several errors compounding) of events led to the disaster, tomorrow (6th Jan).  The reaction is as you suggest, replace one Cl with an OH, all is well until it gets too hot, then two molecules of TCP combine and eliminate 2 mols of HCl (plus one TCDD).

text: Dump tanks in 1976? Unlikely. Even thermal stability testing was in it's infancy then - I think the Accelerating,  Rate Calorimeter only came out in about 1974-1975 - before that it was just DSC, and that would have only been in small non pressure crucibles. Where I worked we only started runaway testing in Feb 1979 (I still have the stamp in my old passport when we went to Switzerland for instruction). The main issue here is that they probably didn't know that heating >230C would make a massive thermal runaway (boiling point of 245-Trichlorophenol is very high), so designing for runaways would never happen.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 17:00, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have heard it several times that dioxins/Agent Orange/diesel fumes have a long term effect on people 'causing' suicides. It's just a suggestion for research which I believe would be worthwhile. It is now long enough ago and people movements may not have been significant. 2001:8003:A921:6300:8059:B478:B030:24D9 (talk) 05:17, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
