air is highly concerning. just yesterday, norfolk southern said 340 home test, testing the air, water, and the soil, and the results of that will be out next week. next week, how can you do that when you have local news stations reporting that over about 3500 fish have been killed, live stock are dying, animals are dying, people are complaining of medical complaints and the only thing they can say right now is if you have symptoms, go see a physician? maybe they need to be more aggressive, keep people out of the local vicinity until they can guarantee their safety and again, it is not just about short-term safety. when you have, yes, the initial big exposure to large amounts of these gasses and chemicals, that is obviously dangerous. but long-term exposure of lower doses come with consequences as well, often cancer-causing. john: doc, good to hear from you. we ll see you in a few minutes to talk about other issues as
is safe. that s not stopping the concerns. waiting to hear more from mike dewine. martha? representative ilhan omar was critical the role of pete buttigieg has played in this so far. thanks, david spunt. let s bring in dr. marty makary from johns hopkins. doctor, good to have you with us. i d like to start this afternoon by playing a bit of sound from another doctor who we rely on as well. dr. marc siegel. i want to see if what you think about what he says about these toxins. vinyl chloride has a lot of cancer exposures. it breaks down to hydrogen chloride and gasses that were used in world war i as a weapon. that s why people had headaches and burning eyes. they hoped to have a controlled
flourocarbons. we should be really thankful. it shows us we can actually solve environmental problems and we solve them when they have easy replacements. so, what happened back when we originally agreed to the protocol and follow-ups, we switched out the cfc gasses for less damaging gasses but crucially we already had them in place. that was why reagan and many others signed up to do this. and the point here is what it tells us about climate change is we are going to solve climate change in the same way once we have the replacement, that is we have cheap, available and reliable energy. then we will solve it. we are not there yet, but we should be researching to find that solution. john: we should point out the report said it would take another 17, 18 years or the ozone hole to fully repair itself. and if you look at the latest animations from 2022, over
the lava field. sunday the viewing area was temporarily closed after a smoke grenade was found. 20 hawaii national guardsmen have been deployed to mauna loa. they helped out in past ebb erup eruptions. the mission could change if the lava crosses the highway. long nights, cold nights. beautiful red-lit nights. i guess the biggest challenge nor the guard members, safety. it s a slow-moving flow and being away from their families. they volunteered for this. it is. it s a once in a lifetime mission. how many other states can say that they got activated to support lava? another concern is the gasses that are being emitted out of mauna loa. according to the usgs, around 120,000 tons of sulfur dioxide
john: lava still flowing from the world s largest active volcano and sparking serious concerns that it could cut off a major highway. max gordon has more. looks spectacular but it s dangerous. yeah, the lava is showing down and spreading out as it hits flatter terrain. it s inching its way closer to the east west highway. officials say it s more than two miles away and moving at a rate of 25 feet per hour. officials don t know when or if it will hit the highway at this point. right now the highway still remains open. no evacuation orders have been issued. no homes or communities are threatened. the volcano is spewing potentially hazardous gasses that has created vog, volcanic smog. there s lava tubes that are open
