...considering it a marketing scam for 80% of America, the people near that train wreck should probably have been drinking bottled water the last 30 years.
EPA is finding elevated levels or potentially (or confirmed as) dangerous organic compounds in air & water that are exceedingly unlikely to be present as the result if the recent incident.
My surmise is that the whole area was already a toxic swamp, and we would have never known it had the train Nit derailed.

I don't need canned air because I have two air compressors, and an air tank.

I'm getting ready to clean an ornate lamp, with a brush, cloth and whatever else will get the nooks and crannies cleaned. Random thoughts.

My electric inflator is still out, used it on the flat tire yesterday. Hmmmm

is that they also allow humidity in the air to get condensed and blow spits of water on what you are cleaning/dusting.
Not good if you are airbrushing models or electronics and stuff like that.

I've been servicing those on the CNC mills I ran for forty years.
