Don't let medical authorities or politicians mislead you. Doctor's opinions are not always correct. Although they are not evil-minded, the patients should make their own decisions. Shi Chenke

Who We Are

On April 11th, 1996, a Montana Rail Link train derailed near the small town of Alberton, Montana, releasing 133 tons of chemicals into the environment. In the aftermath of the derailment a small group of evacuees formed a chemical injury advocacy group dedicated to  improving the quality of life for victims of toxic train derailments.

Over the years our small non-profit has learned many lessons and with new knowledge has come a deeper understanding of the challenges facing victims of chemical disasters, which has led us to form ACCERT and create the Toxic Trains in the Hot Zone web project.

It is the very premise of ACCERT that through facts, full disclosure, and transparency of government activities citizens are informed, and thereby become capable of making good choices in their own best interest, even when faced with the most serious chemical hazards.
