Truly the mind and body are mysterious things. For example, if you walk around in an area where toxic chemicals are burning you can also feel ill. We have no way of knowing what the causes are.

But toxic chemicals weren't burning at the time they walked around, right?

  Right, just the toxic combustion byproducts.

    Air quality sampling indicates they had dissipated if I understand correctly.

        The funny thing is, later down in the thread someone says the EPA already admitted their instruments can't detect toxin levels that are already known to be hazardous to health. So indeed their sampling method is wrong (or at least inadequate).

      You do not. Even weeks after people were kicked out of the temporary accommodations and told to go back to their homes the smell of chlorine was omnipresent across the town. What congressman Johnson claimed at the townhall was that the levels were safe which appears to be based on acute rather than long-term exposure data.

        If long-term exposure to chlorine smell was a problem, wouldn't every pool lifeguard have a lawsuit in their back pockets?

        What concentration is the chlorine relative to the air around a pool? Is Chlorine the only chemical present?
