A plume of chemicals that spilled into the Ohio River after a fiery train derailment is no longer a concern, Ohio's governor said, but worries remain among residents near the disaster site who've complained about lingering headaches and irritated eyes.
Despite repeated assurances that air and water testing has shown no signs of contaminants, some around East Palestine, along the Pennsylvania state line, are still skeptical and afraid to return to their homes.
“These are very legitimate questions and residents deserve an answer,” DeWine said while also emphasizing that testing inside and outside of homes in the village have no found no signs of toxins that were on the train.Residents of East Palestine, Ohio, came to a crowded high school gym looking for answers following a train derailment in their city.
Earlier this week, hundreds of people showed up at a public meeting to voice concerns and get answers from not only state and local leaders but also railroad operator Norfolk Southern. But representatives of the railroad were absent, saying they were worried about physical threats.
