near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border, Gov. Mike DeWine said East Palestine’s water is safe to drink and the air clean to breathe on "The Story with Martha MacCallum."
The train with 50 rail cars, 10 of which were carrying vinyl chloride, caused hazardous chemicals to spill onto the ground and sent a plume of smoke into the air.A controlled release of chemicals was done to avoid the risk of an explosion. Residents were evacuated before officials conducted the controlled release, but they have since been allowed back.
Consumer advocate and legal clerk Erin Brockovich tells East Palestine residents to"believe their own instincts" about possible chemical exposures and prolonged symptoms on"Kennedy" Wednesday., and believe serious health hazards remain. East Palestine residents Nathan Izotic and his wife Kelly told Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight" that they're seeing the effects of the chemicals first-hand.
"We are seeing them locally and inside of our bodies. What we're experiencing – local fish in our creeks have died … oily sheens and coloration in our water … [the] constant smell of burning plastics and chemicals in the air… issues with our dog … vomiting, acting lethargic. It's scary stuff here," Izotic said.
