[dontmeantobepoliticalbut]

Earlier this month, a train carrying hazardous chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, triggering a massive fire and forcing everyone within a 1-mile radius of the crash to evacuate. To avoid a potential explosion, officials conducted a controlled detonation of five tankers three days later, sending carcinogenic vinyl chloride into the air. Two days later, residents of the 4,500-person village were told they could safely return home. Many questioned the safety of the air and water supply.

Since then, reporting has made clear that this environmental disaster was less a freak accident than a predictable outcome of lax safety measures and capitalist greed. Here’s what you need to know about the Norfolk Southern rail company.

NORFOLK SOUTHERN CHOSE NOT TO UPGRADE ITS TRAINS’ “CIVIL WAR-ERA” BRAKES.

A report in The Lever notes that the train that crashed in East Palestine was not equipped with Electronically Controlled Pneumatic brakes—fully electric brakes that experts say could have reduced the severity of the crash. Although Norfolk Southern once touted its use of ECP brakes, it lobbied against requiring them on trains carrying hazardous materials. An Obama-era rule required that HHFTs have ECP brakes, but the Trump administration overturned this rule.

NORFOLK SOUTHERN WORKERS DON’T GET PAID SICK TIME.

Remember when the Senate voted to avert a rail strike and deny workers sick leave? Norfolk Southern workers were among those affected. When investors encouraged Norfolk Southern to offer paid sick leave, the company said, OK, we won’t furlough people as often. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT.) has since demanded that rail companies offer workers at least seven days of paid sick leave.

RAIL COMPANIES REFUSE TO HIRE ENOUGH WORKERS.

Unions say that the rail industry’s use of furloughs to reduce the workforce stretches staff too thin. As Timothy Noah wrote in the New Republic, the 141-car train that crashed in East Palestine carried just two crew members and one trainee:

"On February 10, Anya Litvak of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that security camera footage 20 miles short of where the derailment occurred showed a rail car axle that appeared to be on fire. Why this information was not transmitted quickly to the train crew remains unknown, but it seems likely that the answer has something to do with the number of people who were in a position to sound the alarm."

NORFOLK SOUTHERN HAS SPENT BILLIONS ON STOCK BUYBACKS.

Norfolk Southern made $4.8 billion in operating profit in 2022, More Perfect Union reported, and paid shareholders $4.7 billion in stock buybacks and dividends.

As my colleague Hannah Levintova explained last year:

"A buyback is when companies purchase shares of their own company from investors, driving up the value of the remaining stock because there are fewer shares circulating. Buybacks are taxed at the lower capital gains rate, which maxes out at 20% for the wealthiest households. But for those investors who don’t sell their shares back to the company, there’s no tax—even though the value of their holdings has increased. Until that investor sells the asset, their wealth will grow tax-free. And thanks in part to a tax code loophole that enables the wealthy to pass shares on to their heirs, who can then skip paying capital gains taxes on them altogether, buybacks play a role in building untaxed generational wealth."

THE TRAIN THAT CAUSED THE CLOUD OF SMOKE OVER EAST PALESTINE WAS NOT CATEGORIZED AS A “HIGH-HAZARD FLAMMABLE TRAIN.”

Thanks to pressure from industry lobbyists, the “high-hazard flammable train” categorization applies only to trains carrying a narrow set of materials, like crude oil, The Lever also reported. That designation would have required that the train follow specific speed and braking restrictions.

DESPITE MAKING BILLIONS IN PROFIT, NORFOLK SOUTHERN INITIALLY OFFERED JUST $25,000 TO EAST PALESTINE.

Norfolk Southern managed to scrape together $25,000 for the town that’s been doused in toxic chemicals. People who fled their homes under fear of death can claim $1,000 per person per household. Since then, the company has announced increases in charity.

Background: A Russian chemical tanker SIG was damaged in the Kerch Strait on the evening of 4 August due to a USV attack(..)

P.S. Ukraine's Security Service and naval drones have carried out a great military operation against the logistics of the Russian army. This tanker often carried fuel for the Russian army to Syria.

In fact, any merchant vessel that helps the Russian war criminal economy, especially those carrying fuel for the Russian military, are perfectly legitimate targets...

In addition, it turns out that the naval drones produced by the Ukrainian military industry are a very effective weapon against Russian aggression in the Black Sea. The Ukrainians are currently able to destroy naval targets in practically the entire Black Sea.

Americans can never unsee the Chinese balloon—that’s the real danger (France Inter) The Chinese spy balloon shot down over the U.S. this week embodies the “Chinese threat” seen by many Americans. The most worrying thing in this case is not the balloon, but what it symbolizes. Shot down on Saturday by an American jet over the Atlantic after it drifted over U.S. territory, the balloon wasn’t a threat in and of itself. It’s a toy compared to the arsenals held by both countries. Still, this almost obsolete balloon has come to symbolize the “Chinese threat” that Americans hear about day and night. Until now, this threat was abstract, distant. It now has a face, in the form of this Moon-like balloon that appeared in the Montana sky, drifting above the state’s nuclear silos. The main effect of this symbolic appearance is to have raised anti-Chinese fever among the American political class, as well as strong, unanimous approval for the White House’s decision to postpone Blinken’s trip to Beijing—even at the risk of allowing an already tense relationship to deteriorate further. The balloon could set off a kind of “butterfly effect” of a small incident that leads to a much more dangerous showdown.

China claims a second balloon (Foreign Policy) Beijing says that the giant balloon that was spotted above Latin America does indeed belong to China, and claimed that it was used for flight tests. China said the balloon had “seriously deviated” from its planned route and that it was over Latin America “by mistake.” China has also expressed outrage that a similar balloon, which was above the United States for much of last week, was shot down by U.S. forces. China has since said it “reserves the right” to deal with “similar situations.”

Ohio Train Derailment (1440) Authorities in Ohio yesterday released toxic chemicals into the air from five tanker cars of a derailed train to prevent an explosion along the border of Ohio and Pennsylvania. The train, which had been carrying hazardous materials, went off the tracks Friday night in East Palestine, Ohio, causing a large chemical fire that has continued to burn. The area’s nearly 5,000 residents were ordered to evacuate Sunday. No injuries have been reported. The five cars were transporting the industrially produced chemical vinyl chloride, which is used to make polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, a hard plastic resin in plastic products. The chemical is associated with an increased risk of liver, brain, and lung cancers, among other diseases. As part of the controlled release of the chemical, a small charge was used to blow a hole in the cars, allowing the chemical to go into a trench and burn off before being released into the air.

$17,000+ (WSJ) The median price to put an infant in daycare for a year in a major U.S. metro area. Care costs can be nearly a fifth of median family income in high-cost, large cities, the Labor Department found. In less-populated counties, the median annual price is $8,000 a year.

Chile battles deadliest wildfires on record as heatwave grips (Reuters) Chilean firefighters were battling to hold back forest fires on Monday as authorities said hot and dry weather would continue this week, potentially exacerbating what are already the deadliest blazes in the country’s recent history. The fires, which have consumed 270,000 hectares (667,000 acres) of land, have killed 26 people so far in south-central Chile, and already made 2023 the second worst year in terms of hectares burned after the so-called “fire storm” that hit the country in 2017. The state National Forestry Corporation reported that as of Monday morning there were 275 active fires, of which 69 were currently in combat. Chile is in the grip of an over decade-long period of dry weather, which the World Meteorological Organization called a “mega drought” last year, adding it was the longest in a thousand years and marked a major water crisis. The heat wave and strong winds have caused a rapid spread of the flames during the Southern Hemisphere summer season.

French protesters hold more strikes over pension changes (AP) Public transportation, schools and electricity, oil and gas supplies were disrupted on Tuesday in France as demonstrators were taking to the streets for a third round of nationwide strikes and protests against the government’s pension reform plans. Last week, an estimated 1.27 million people demonstrated, according to authorities, more than in the first big protest day on Jan. 19. More demonstrations, called by France’s eight main unions, were planned for Saturday. Rail operator SNCF said train traffic was severely disrupted Tuesday across the country, including on its high-speed network. International lines to Britain and Switzerland were affected. The Paris metro was also disrupted.

Outnumbered and Worn Out, Ukrainians in East Brace for Russian Assault (NYT) In a tiny village in eastern Ukraine at the epicenter of the next phase of the war, Lyudmila Degtyaryova measures the Russian advance by listening to the boom of incoming artillery shells. There are more and more of them now. And they are coming more frequently, as Russian troops grind their way forward. Russia’s military is preparing to launch a new offensive that could soon swallow Ms. Degtyaryova’s village of Nevske, and perhaps much more in the eastern Ukrainian region known as the Donbas. But already the impact of Russia’s stepped-up assault is being felt in the towns and villages along the hundreds of miles of undulating eastern front. Exhausted Ukrainian troops complain they are already outnumbered and outgunned, even before Russia has committed the bulk of its roughly 200,000 newly mobilized soldiers. And doctors at hospitals speak of mounting losses as they struggle to care for fighters with gruesome injuries. Two weeks ago, a Russian shell landed in Ms. Degtyaryova’s yard, and as she contemplated her future over the weekend, the remains of her barn still smoldered.

Turkey, Syria quake deaths pass 9,500 (Reuters/AP) Overwhelmed rescuers struggled to save people trapped under the rubble as the death toll from a devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria rose past 9,500 on Wednesday, making the quake the deadliest in more than a decade. Turkish authorities say some 13.5 million people were affected in an area spanning roughly 450 km from Adana in the west to Diyarbakir in the east, and 300 km from Malatya in the north to Hatay in the south. In Syria, authorities have reported deaths as far south as Hama, some 100 km from the epicentre.

Race to find survivors as quake aid pours into Turkey, Syria (AP) Search teams and aid from nearly 30 countries poured into Turkey and Syria on Tuesday as rescuers working in freezing temperatures and sometimes using their bare hands dug through the remains of buildings flattened by a powerful earthquake. But with the damage spread over a wide area, the massive relief operation often struggled to reach devastated towns, and voices that had been crying out from the rubble fell silent. “We could hear their voices, they were calling for help,” said Ali Silo, whose two relatives could not be saved in the Turkish town of Nurdagi. Unstable piles of metal and concrete made the search efforts perilous, while freezing temperatures made them ever more urgent, as worries grew about how long trapped survivors could last in the cold. Snow swirled around rescuers in Turkey’s Malatya province. More than 8,000 people have been pulled from the debris in Turkey alone, and some 380,000 have taken refuge in government shelters or hotels, said Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay.

Earthquake Strikes Syrian Region Already Mired in Humanitarian Crisis (NYT) Once again, Syrians heard the roar and thud of buildings coming down, once again saw dust rising from the mounds of gray, jagged concrete and twisted metal where houses and offices had stood. Once again, people dug in the ruins with their hands, hoping, often in vain, to save the people they loved. Across northwestern Syria on Monday, apartment blocks, shops, even entire neighborhoods were wiped out in seconds by a powerful earthquake, in scenes that were all too familiar to a region devastated by more than a decade of civil war. Millions of people displaced by the years of fighting have fled to the north. They sheltered in tents, ancient ruins and any other place they could find after their former homes were destroyed. The economic collapse the war brought on had made it impossible for many of them to get a decent meal. This winter’s fuel crisis had them shivering in their beds, without heat. Syria’s wrecked infrastructure had caused thousands to fall sick with cholera in recent months; the ruin of its hospitals meant many could get no health care. Then came Monday’s earthquake. “Anywhere else in the world this would be an emergency,” a spokesman for the International Rescue Committee said. “What we have in Syria is an emergency within an emergency.”

Putting That Shiny New Law Into Use (NYT) On Monday, the trials for 47 Hong Kong pro-democracy leaders began. The group of activists, lawmakers, and academics had all planned to run for Hong Kong’s local legislature in 2020, just one year after the city was disrupted by mass protests calling for freedom from China. All are expected to face prison sentences ranging from three years to life behind bars. “The trial of the 47 represents a turning point in the crackdown because it reveals the true purpose of the national security law,” said one Hong Kong expert. “They’re not targeting a small minority of people throwing petrol bombs. Those people have already been arrested. Instead, they’re targeting the legitimate opposition, people who believed there was still a little bit left to defend Hong Kong’s autonomy and freedom.”

U.S. firms in Taiwan making ‘contingency’ plans amid China tensions (Reuters) Almost half of companies surveyed by the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) in Taiwan are revising or plan to revise their business continuity plans amid tensions with China, while a growing number reported being impacted by those strains. China, which views democratically-governed Taiwan as its own territory, has been stepping up military drills across the Taiwan Strait since then-U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taipei in August. In a survey released on Tuesday, which took place between Nov. 15 and Dec. 16, AmCham Taiwan said 33% of respondents said their operations had been “significantly disrupted” by the increase in tensions. While what it termed “personal anxiety” about increased military activity or tensions remained flat between August and December, 47% of companies said they either have revised or plan to revise business continuity plans “to address the new geopolitical climate.”

South Koreans wonder: Will the U.S. still protect us from North Korea? (Washington Post) The mood around Unification Village, just south of the inter-Korean border, has grown tense the past two years as North Korea ramps up its ballistic missile tests. Most recently, North Korean drones even infiltrated the border. “It is time we went nuclear,” said Lee Wan-bae, who has lived for 50 years in the village, just three miles south of the Military Demarcation Line that marks the official border between the two Koreas. For decades, Lee has had a front-row view of the fluctuating border tensions amid failed efforts to disarm North Korea. “It increasingly looks like matching the nuclear threat from North Korea is the solution that will bring long-desired stability to our village life,” Lee said. With North Korea threatening to strike the South with nuclear weapons and no sign of a return to denuclearization talks, South Koreans are increasingly debating whether they can still trust the United States to protect them in case of war on the peninsula. The South Korean public has become ever more supportive of having their own nuclear weapons, a sentiment that was once considered fringe but is now mainstream.

Applications of Stainless Steel Plates by various Industries

Stainless steel is a type of steel that has been treated such that it is both corrosion- and rust-resistant; it is simply referred to as stainless steel. Stainless steel is almost three times heavier than aluminium. 

Stainless steel is an alloy, just like steel. Alloys are always made up of many elements. While nickel, molybdenum, and other elements are sometimes added to non-corrosive stainless steel to meet specific needs, chrome is by far the most common alloying element. 

Different alloys regulate the magnetisability and the corrosion resistance, two of these needs.

Properties:

Stainless steel has a chromium level of 10.5% or higher, in addition to a number of additional elements in much lesser amounts. When chromium and oxygen come together, they create a thin, fixed-adhering, and sealed chromic-oxide film that is also referred to as a passive layer. It is this passive layer that gives the material its resistance. Its resistance to corrosion means it can be utilised in places where other metals would rust. 

The characteristics of anodized aluminium and rust-resistant stainless steel manufactured by an excellent stainless steel plates supplier in Vadodara, Gujarat are extremely similar. If the material's external skin is damaged, the material and the surface itself will be severely compromised.

Applications:

●      Transportation:

In the 1930s, Ford was the first automaker to use stainless steel in production. Since then, it's been utilised to make anything from exhaust systems to grilles to trim for cars. Manufacturers are increasingly gravitating toward using stainless steel for structural components as technology improves. 

It is also commonly used in the freight industry to construct cargo containers, road tankers, and garbage trucks. Because of its high corrosion resistance, it can be used to transport a wide variety of chemicals, liquids, and even food without spoilage. Stainless steel is a low-maintenance metal that is simple and inexpensive to care for.

●      Medical and Pharmaceutical:

Stainless steel is the metal of choice in hospitals, restaurants, and other hygienic settings because it is corrosion-resistant and easy to maintain. Surgical as well as dental instruments are just two of the many types of medical tools made from stainless steel. 

It's also utilised to make things like cannulas, MRI scanners, kidney dishes, and steam sterilisers. 

Stainless steel offered by the most prominent as well as trusted Stainless Steel plates dealer in Vadodara, Gujarat is used for many medical devices and implants, including artificial hips, artificial joints, and several types of bone screws and plates.

●      Building trade:

Because of its durability, resilience, and malleability, stainless steel is increasingly being used in construction. It is frequently seen indoors on countertops, backsplashes, and railings, and outdoors as a high-rise building’s cladding. 

Because of its weldability, ease of maintenance, and aesthetic finish, it is frequently employed in contemporary construction. Examples include London's Eurostar Terminal and Singapore's Helix Bridge. 

Stainless steel is a recyclable metal that is gaining favour in the construction industry due to the growing interest in eco-friendly building practices. Both its aesthetic qualities and its ability to increase natural light in a structure are enhanced by a grain or polished finish.

●      Aviation Industry and Airplane construction:

Stainless steel is also widely favoured in the aerospace sector. As a result of its durability and resistance to high temperatures, it finds employment in a wide range of industries, including the aerospace industry. Because of its anti-rust properties, it can also be used in jet engine components. If you are looking for the most reliable as well as noteworthy supplier of Stainless Steel plates in Vadodara, Gujarat, Tube Trading Co. is the name you can count on for all of your SS application needs. 

The landing gear, which is also an integral section of the ship, is made almost entirely of stainless steel. Because of its durability and sturdiness, it can support the landing aircraft's weight.

●    Food Catering:

Stainless steel is widely used for producing utensils, pots, and pans, as well as forks, knives, and spoons, in the culinary and catering industries. Less ductile SS grades are used to make utensils like knives. SS used in manufacturing stoves, grills, pans as well as pots is more ductile and hence it is also utilised in manufacturing sinks. 

Dishwashers, freezers, kitchen countertops, as well as refrigerators, are just some of the other appliances and surfaces that might benefit from a stainless steel finish. Stainless steel is perfect for use in the food industry since it does not impart any undesirable taste to the finished product. It is also resistant to corrosion, thus it can be used to store acidic beverages like orange juice. Stainless steel's low microbial retention and low cleaning requirements make it a great choice for food storage.

Peninsula Adds Chemical Tanker Aalborg To Supply In The Port Of Barcelona

Peninsula, the leading independent global marine energy supplier, is proud to announce the introduction of the Aalborg, an IMO II chemical tanker dedicated to sustainable fuel distribution in the Western Mediterranean. The Aalborg is capable of supplying 100% biofuels (B100), in contrast to traditional fuel barges that cannot exceed 25% bio component. The vessel supplies FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) produced from vegetable oils and allows for neutral emissions (depending on the origin of these vegetable oils) thereby reducing a receiving vessel’s carbon footprint. The Aalborg will play a pivotal role in the Port of Barcelona’s ongoing commitment to promoting cleaner fuel initiatives across the region.

In utilising the Aalborg, Peninsula is acting on its sustainability commitments and accelerating the adoption of clean energy alternatives. The vessel’s ability to blend multiple bio feedstocks and traditional fuels on board, together with a certificate detailing the bio component percentage, allows ship owners to comply with impending Fuel EU Maritime regulation using the same engine.

“The importance of having a biofuel supply vessel permitted to supply up to 100% bio component, will provide Port of Barcelona users with a solution to decarbonise their activity and to fully comply with EU regulations. The Port of Barcelona, as part of its Energy Transition Plan, is committed to transition and alternative fuels such as LNG, green methanol or green ammonia, as well as biofuels, which will help to reduce the maritime sector’s carbon footprint”, explains Lluís Salvadó, president of the Port of Barcelona.

Alejandro Morales Moreno, Supply Manager at Peninsula, emphasised the collaborative efforts between Peninsula and the Port of Barcelona, highlighting a shared vision for emissions reduction. He noted, “the addition of the Aalborg creates a meaningful, new decarbonisation solution for our customers and we’re grateful to the Port Authority for facilitating its deployment in Barcelona.”

Peninsula emphasises the need to take decarbonisation steps today. In this regard, the introduction of the Aalborg is a tangible stride forward for both Peninsula and the Port of Barcelona, underscoring a joint commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship. The partnership places both parties at the forefront of sustainable fuel initiatives, driving positive change within the maritime industry and beyond.

Advancements in Marine Coatings: Sustainable Solutions and Market Impact

Marine Coatings - Protecting Ships from Harsh Marine Environment Introduction Marine coatings refer to protective paint coatings specially formulated to protect ships, boats, offshore oil rigs and other marine structures from corrosion and fouling in harsh marine environment. Marine structures face unique environmental challenges like saltwater exposure, wave action, shell fouling and extreme temperatures which regular paints cannot withstand. This is where specialized marine paints play a vital role in protecting the structural integrity and extending the lifespan of marine assets. Types of Marine Paints There are different types of marine paints used depending on the type of marine structure and environmental conditions: Anti-Corrosion Coatings As the name suggests, anti-corrosion coatings form a protective barrier to prevent corrosion of steel and other metal parts of ships and offshore structures that are constantly exposed to sea water. The most common anti-corrosion coatings used are epoxy, polyurethane and zinc-rich coatings. Epoxy marine paints provide excellent adhesion, chemical and abrasion resistance. Polyurethane coatings have added elasticity making them suitable for areas with thermal expansion. Zinc-rich coatings have zinc particles as prime pigment that sacrificially corrode to protect the substrate. Fouling Release Coatings Fouling release coatings have very low surface energy which prevents shell fouling like algae, tube worms or barnacles from permanently settling on the ship's hull. Instead, any organisms attaching are easily released when the ship is moving thereby improving hydrodynamics. Silicone based fouling release coatings are very popular for this application. Anti-Fouling Coatings Unlike fouling release coatings, anti-fouling coatings actively prevent shell fouling from attaching to ship's hull by means of biocides embedded in the coating. Common biocides used are copper, co-polymer and zinc pyrithione. However, there are environmental concerns over use of such biocide coatings and regulatory restrictions are in place in many countries. Tank Coatings Specialized tank coatings are used to line cargo tanks in oil tankers and bulk carriers that carry chemicals and petroleum products. Epoxy and Polyurethane coatings are used for their excellent chemical resistance. Some modern tank coatings have advanced molecular self-healing properties that help maintain barrier protection for longer periods. Other Specialized Applications In addition to above, industry uses specialized high durability epoxy, polyurethane and inorganic zinc silicate coatings for decks, boot-top areas and underwater ship hulls. Intumescent fire resistant coatings provide protection against flames. Non-skid deck coatings provide added safety on-board. Sacrificial anodes and impressed current cathodic protection systems also complement coating systems.

How to Handle Hazardous Waste in Waste Water Treatment

Hazardous waste management is an integral part of industrial waste management. Right handling, storage, treatment and disposal of these hazardous substances are vital. Otherwise, problems like spills, leakages, fires and the pollution of soil and drinking water may happen.

Different types of hazardous waste

According to the EPA, hazardous waste is any waste with possibly harmful effects on the human health or the environment. It may come from different sources, like farming, manufacturing, laboratory, construction and health care amenities. Hazardous waste also comes in different forms, including sludge, gases, liquids and solids which can be analyzed during Waste soil solid sludge analysis in Dubai.

How do you handle hazardous materials in wastewater?

Hazardous and waste liquid chemicals analysis send water based wastes, like oils, paint, bases, acids and coolants, through a special treatment process causing neat and usable water extraction. Amenities can reuse the treated water on-site or discharge it to the environment.

Hazardous waste management can look a bit different depending on the amenity and waste type. Nonetheless, it generally involves these steps:

Transportation

First of all, a hazardous waste disposal company transports the hazardous waste to a treatment plant. The plant gets the waste in tankers, drums and totes.

Disposal

After being stored in a tank or any other unit, the treated waste water by the EIAC Emirates International Accreditation Center approved Laboratory is ready for on-site use, like hydraulic fracturing or cooling tower. Or else, the water can be discharged back into the environment.

Moreover, the plant should properly dispose the hazardous wastes. Landfills are commonly used as disposal sites. The disposal company will generally place the substance in a mindfully constructed unit to safeguard surface water and groundwater. Then, the waste is ready to be discarded into the landfill.
