| | CMCR Campaign: Alberton, Montana train spill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) |
 | | Garron Smith, Ph.D. University of Montana Environmental Chemist, said chlorophenols were identified by his lab equipment, and were created by the reaction of chlorine and potassium cresylate -- which converts to phenol in the process. |
 | | Montana Rail Link is legally required to report in writing to emergency planners the chemical name, estimated or known quantity released, time and duration, release to known media, the known and anticipated health effects, acute and chronic, from the chemical catastrophe. |
 | | Two other Montana train derailments occur within a week, one involving a damaged chlorine tanker (though no reported release): on April 11, near Noxon, MT; April 16, near Dodson, Montana (Cl tanker); on a Burlington Northern Freight Train. |
