-------------------------------

Affects Of Chemicals.

Chemicals spilt.

Vinyl Chloride

Butyl acrylate

Ethylhexyl acrylate.

---------------------

Vinyl Chloride

Vinyl Chloride has been linked too liver damage when exposed to between 300 and 500 ppm, it is a known carcinogen that causes a rare liver cancer to form.

The other two chemicals pose very little harm.

Should you be worried.

This is an ongoing situation but as of currently only very small traces amounts of Butyl Acrylate have been found in the Ohio river.

The overall danger is minimal.

If you receive your water directly from the Ohio river you can switch to bottled water for extra safety if you feel the need to. 

I will personally be doing this.

But if your outside the Ohio river basin you have 0 worry and for those of us living here the only slight concern should be had if you water comes from the river or a river being fed by the Ohio river.

This is a continued situation and I will update it as new information comes out

The Sturgis House

122 West 5th Street

East Liverpool OH 43920,

Originally the private home of the Erlanger family, this building became the Sturgis Funeral Home, famous for having displayed the body of Pretty Boy Floyd in October, 1934. Charles Arthur “Pretty Boy” Floyd made his name in the 1920s and 30s as a notorious bank robber and murderer. A lifetime criminal, he became known for his liberal application of a machine gun during his capers which led to the deaths of a number of law enforcement officers. Most notably he is said to have been one of the key players in the Kansas City Massacre, a failed jail break that left four officers and the target of the breakout dead. Despite his heinous crimes, Floyd was seen by many in the public as a kind of folk hero thanks to his practice of destroying mortgage documents during his bank raids, freeing many from their debt.

Floyd’s criminal career and life came to an end near East Liverpool, Ohio in October of 1934. After being declared Public Enemy Number One following the death of John Dillinger, Floyd went on the run, but was finally cornered in Ohio. He was taken down in a hail of gunfire as he attempted to flee officers on foot. His body was taken to the nearest mortician, at the Sturgis Funeral Home in East Liverpool, where his corpse was embalmed and a death mask was made. Floyd’s body was then sent back to Oklahoma where he was buried. His death mask stayed at Sturgis Funeral Home.

Fast forward to 1998 and The Sturgis House, itself a historic Victorian mansion, has been turned into a relaxing bed and breakfast, which still operates to this day. The home’s funereal legacy lived on in the tiny Sturgis House Mortuary Museum, the basement laundry room where they kept some of the old equipment on display, and Floyd’s grim, white death mask hung just above the washer drier. There were tools used for the preparations, newspaper articles, and many other artifacts from that fateful day on display as well. It might have been a bit morbid, but the inn keepers were always happy to let visitors in and to show off the mask.

Unfortunately, the museum is now closed, and all artifacts have been donated to the East Liverpool Police Museum. A historic marker for The Sturgis House was erected in 2003 by the East Liverpool Rotary Club. The marker is at the intersection of Peach Avenue and 5th Street, on the left when traveling south on Peach Avenue, in downtown East Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio. It is located on Peach Street to the right of the Sturgis House. To find the building, one should exit U.S. 30/Hwy. 39 at Jackson St. drive a few blocks north, and then make a right on 5th St. The Sturgis House will be on the right, with the big green clock out front.

@charlesoberonn Those lists are off by one London and two Parises, and they're all in Ohio. Ohio has:

Paris, New Paris, Saint Paris, London, New London, Bexley, Oxford, Delaware (We take state names too), Africa (It’s in Delaware), Egypt (Ours isn’t in Africa, ironically), Cairo (It's not in Africa, either), East Liverpool, Palestine, East Palestine (The Palestines are on opposite ends of the state), Troy, Toledo, Toronto, Athens, Calcutta, Boston, Antwerp, Canton, North Canton, and of course, Jerusalem.

The United States has 3 times as many Jerusalems as Israel
