TRAIN DERAILS AT APPROXIMATELY 3:22 PM ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON 26 CARS DERAILED, 23 OF THOSE CARS WERE ON THEIR SIDES AND 3 REMAINED UPRIGHT, OF THE 26 CARS 14 WERE CARRYING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OF WHICH 3 WERE LEAKING 1800 FEET OF RAIL TRACK IN NEED OF REPAIRS

What products were released from the derailment? Sulfidic Caustic Solution Sulfidic caustic solution is mainly water with sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide in it. The solution is caustic, meaning that if the liquid gets on the skin, it may cause a burn. Measurements of surface water near the derailment site indicate that if the sulfidic caustic solution did enter the ditches near the derailment site, the amount was so small that it did not cause the water to go over the limit set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Although spilled sulfidic caustic solution does not get into the air, the product may release hydrogen sulfide, a gas that smells like sulfur or rotten eggs. Hydrogen sulfide was not detected with monitoring instruments in the community air. Lubricating Oil Lubricating oil is a petroleum distillate that has been water treated to remove sulfur; it is a bright strawcolored liquid with a mild lube oil odor. Lubricating oils are commonly used for a variety of commercial and industrial applications. Spilled lubricating oils evaporate very slowly and do not affect air quality. Lubricating oil was not detected in water samples from ditches or the bayou near the derailment site. Dodecanol Dodecanol is an alcohol that gives off a fatty odor. Dodecanol is commonly used in shampoos, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Dodecanol is also a common flavoring ingredient in drinks, ice cream, candy, chewing gum, and syrups. Dodecanol is considered practically non‐toxic to humans and animals. Dodecanol liquid spilled in water and soil breaks down quickly in the environment. Dodecanol was detected in water samples collected from ditches and the bayou near the derailment site. For 12 days after the derailment, dodecanol was detected in water samples collected from areas near the derailment site. The most recent water samples collected on August 17 and 18 did not have detectable amounts of dodecanol.
