East Palestine train derailment spread 'hazardous' pollution to 16 states

The destruction from a massive train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, spread far beyond the initial wreckage site, spewing "hazardous" pollution across 16 states, according to a newly released study.

On Feb. 3, 2023, a Norfolk Southern freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed in East Palestine -- a village on the border of Ohio and Pennsylvania -- sending toxic chemicals into the air, soil, creeks and lakes in the region, according to the study published in Environmental Research Letters on Wednesday.

  2. I live about 500 miles from there. The day after, I could smell the chemicals in the air. That smell persisted for a day or two. I can't imagine what it must have been/is still like like at ground zero.
