Ohio derailed train chemical cloud ‘highly unlikely’ to impact Canada
The one question the group could not answer, however, was how the cloud of toxic smoke created from the chemical burnoff might affect neighbouring areas.
Typically, the chemical involved in the controlled release to the air, vinyl chloride, only lasts in the atmosphere for less than 24 hours. With Southern Ontario being directly north and northwest of the event location, and with the prevailing winds being from the west and southwest, it would have been highly unlikely that the region would have seen any effect,” the statement read.

I saw a map from NOAA yesterday that showed the plume had reached at least Montréal in Québec.
I'll try to find it again...
