EPA releases names of hazardous materials carried by trains in East Palestine derailment
EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — There are still a lot of unanswered questions lingering a week after the controlled release of vinyl chloride from some of the cars involved in the train derailment in East Palestine.
The U.S. EPA released a list by Norfolk Southern of the flammable gas and liquids and their status in the rail cars when the train derailed on Feb. 3, later sending a black plume over the village. "It's just like, well if it can get over there, why can't it come here?” Dunlap said. She’s washed all her towels and curtains and now boils her water for tea, coffee and when it’s time to eat."The water I'm kind of concerned about — from what I've heard, it's 100s of dollars if you're not in the evacuation zone,” Dunlap said.More than 400 requests have come in for indoor air screenings.
"Obviously it might not be instantaneous where there's a result this could be long term for years and years,” Murphy said last week.
