Ohio Train Derailment Chemical Spill/Burn Data and info on Dioxin Detox and Bioremediation

Original article here.


Here is info I have gathered from some preliminary research on the viability of bioremediation (bioaugmentation, biostimulation, mycoremediation and phytoremediation) of dioxin contaminated soils and also researching what foods help with reducing the absorption and enhancing excretion of dioxin from the human body.

I want to share what I have so far incase this info can be helpful and bring some peace of mind to those who are being impacted by the massive chemical spill / burn due to the derailed train in Ohio.

I am seeing some promising data on both the human detox and soil bioremediation fronts. I am especially encouraged to find that a great many of the bacterium that have been studied for their ability to denature and dissolve dioxin are species that exist in thermophilic compost (and/or “compost tea”) (see a list of some of the relevant species here: https://www.mdpi.com/2305-6304/10/6/278#table_body_display_toxics-10-00278-t004 )

The studies I have found so far are listing a number of bacteria species which are prevalent in “hot compost”. There are also a number of fungi species (some of which are listed here: https://www.mdpi.com/2305-6304/10/6/278#table_body_display_toxics-10-00278-t004 ) which are effective in either breaking down or hyperaccumulating dioxin (after which the fruit bodies would be removed and isolated away from the soil/water).

If you live within the fallout zone(s) of where the chemicals were dispersed into the water, soil and air I would suggest using caution to avoid contamination (and/or evacuating to outside the fallout zone until you can find some independently verified water and air tests to confirm the toxins have dissipated, which may not be for a long time in some cases)
Also it is worth noting that we don’t even have the full list of what chemicals were on that train nor a comprehensive screening of how they may have combined once they were lit on fire and dispersed into the atmosphere so detoxing or engaging in bioremediation for Dioxin alone may not be enough. That beings said, some detox is better than no detox.

Before we get into soil remediation research, here is some info on the that which need more immediate attention, mitigating the amount of dioxins that are entering your body and detoxifying the ones that are already there.
