What is vinyl chloride and why is it so toxic? Researchers have been working on fully understanding this topic, as concerned citizens in East Palestine, Ohio worry about their future.

Beier is one of the only researchers in the U.S. specifically looking at the impacts of this chemical on our bodies, especially in low doses. “It actually changes the cells ability to respire, to breathe. When we do experiments in the lab we actually see that the respiration rate of animals goes down,” Beier said.

“There’s a lot of research that still needs to be done,” Beier said. “We’ve been studying this for several years now and really just trying to emphasize how complicated and broad of a subject this actually is.”
