Chris Jones: 1.1 million pounds of nitrate-nitrogen will…

Well this is frightening! 🤦‍♀️ I’m in IC .

Iowa City draws its drinking water from the river, and I'm unsure what treatment they have. I live just above where the English empties into the Iowa, and. bsky.app/profile/mode...

Nice looking test strips, Ryan, but a lousy result. Here's the Iowa River at the farm (near Riverside) just now. I read it as ~15ppm nitrate-nitrogen and ~0.15ppm nitrile-nitrogen. Excuse the rope: I had to rappel down the riverbank.

Awful. You all have probably heard about this, but if not... bsky.app/profile/anat...

No wonder Iowa has the second largest cancer rate in the nation right now.

Ammonia is not carcinogenic.

Anhydrous ammonia is neither nitrogen, a gas that comprises the majority of our atmosphere, nor nitrate, a salt. Anhydrous ammonia is a liquified gas that does not explode nor is it flammable. It is toxic to breathe and causes severe damage to the lungs. Get your chemistry right!

I believe OP was just using the photo of AH tanks to aid in visualizing the quantity. “That’s equivalent to the content of 322 of these…” I didn’t take it as him mistaking AH for nitrogen.

Ammonia nitrogen is converted to nitrate nitrogen in the soil after application

Chris Jones is out here every day shouting down the house on the corporate and political cabal poisoning Iowa's water and its people. But this visual is worth its weight in Substack posts. "One day, one river, in Iowa." We don't have to accept this.

The visual is wrong,science wise. It's anhydrous ammonia, which is not the nitrogen compounds he's talking about. The post loses a lit of credibility.

FWIW, speaking as a retired locomotive engineer, the volume of this and similar chemical that pass thru any given town on any given day is usually that high, if not higher...

Farmers wanting to remain unregulated and destructive is so incredibly bad for human health.

NH3 -> corn -> bacon unless we all wanna go back to squatting in the fields and spraying manure all over the place or maybe a rotation that puts nitrogen back in to the soil. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia

Is there anyone running for statewide office that supports cleaner water in Iowa?

Nope. Every once in a while when the summer water ordinances are issued yet again, some candidate will mumble the word "water", or print it on their campaign flyer, but they don't mean it.

it's not well known how much hazardous, toxic substances pass through our major cities every day on vulnereable rail lines, in addition to the roads. it's been a silent threat for decades.

It’s not just water with anhydrous ammonia - have you ever seen how fast one of these with a leak can drop a person? Less than 30 seconds - don’t bother to call an ambulance, it will be too late and then the EMTs are gone too. Call the FD, in the area. They should be trained on handling a leak.
