EPA official in East Palestine said, "the railroad company that chemically nuked the town was lying to you, but the EPA echoed those lies." He cited "over a million pounds of vinyl chloride" detonated, "linked to all sorts of cancers, leukemia, reproductive issues in women." He argued the EPA should have offered temporary relocation "pretty much right away," noting it’s "totally unknowable how many people got sick unnecessarily because they weren't relocated sooner." He has visited twice in six months and says, "I've gotten sick both times, and residents are sick, both in Ohio and Pennsylvania." We're "already starting to see cancers, including in men, male breast cancer," with fathers reporting daughters "as young as seven or eight" starting early puberty and menstrual cycles, and boys getting hair earlier. "Flint two point zero," the agencies are saying, "All good, nothing to see here," but the residents are sick and not getting help.

I'm at Leslie Run, where there are dead worms and fish in the water. I discovered that scraping the creek bed releases chemicals from the ground. Look at this—chemicals are seeping out, which is disgusting. The ongoing presence of these chemicals after the train crash is an insult to the residents of East Palestine. We must not forget them and need to keep applying pressure to address this issue. Thank you.

Where have the EPA, FDA, and political leaders been? How did you miss the peril of forever chemicals destroying our land, farms, water, and public health? This has broken our hearts, and I don't know if we'll ever recover. Our farms are contaminated with chemicals linked to liver damage, fertility issues, thyroid problems, and cancer. The land is poisoned, the water contaminated, and people are affected. These forever chemicals are nearly impossible to destroy, tainting crops and milk, pushing farmers to ruin. Suicide rates are high among farmers facing bankruptcy after generations of family farming. This is the story of farmland destroyed beneath them due to greed and money. We'll show you where it began and how far back the cover-up goes. They chose to hide it. With 97% of Americans impacted, everyone will deal with the fallout. I'm glad this is being investigated.

I am angry and disappointed with the government and their actions regarding the water contamination issue. I no longer trust the government or their plans. Many people will be affected by this. They say they will conduct tests, but we don't know when. I won't get tested if they won't reimburse me. We want to know if the water is safe. I have a garden and freezers full of food that may need to be thrown away. Our children go to a school that serves local food and drinks the tap water. We have been told that everything local has been contaminated for five years. How should we react to this?

Caitlin Swartzwalder, owner of Von Schwartz Doberman kennel, discusses the impact of the train derailment near her property. Some people had to leave their animals behind due to lack of animal-friendly evacuation options, resulting in animal deaths. Swartzwalder's own dogs experienced health issues from exposure to the fire fumes. Returning to the area is uncomfortable, with physical symptoms like itchy eyes and throat. Swartzwalder believes that while the water supply may currently be safe, the concern is that vinyl chloride could seep into the ground and become a problem in the future. The situation has left Swartzwalder and others with valuable properties uncertain about their future, as selling the land at its original value seems unlikely.

A controlled release of vinyl chloride from a derailed train in East Palestine, Ohio, poses serious health risks. Residents in the red zone face potential death, while those in the orange zone risk severe injuries. Governor Mike DeWine emphasized the need for evacuation but appeared calm despite the grave situation. Following the controlled burn, residents were instructed to shelter in place, and many were later allowed back home without proper testing or cleanup of their properties. A hazardous materials expert criticized the railroad company for failing to ensure safety before residents returned. The situation highlights disparities in response based on community wealth, suggesting that if this incident occurred in wealthier areas, the response would have been significantly different. East Palestine, a poorer community, seems to be overlooked in this crisis.

Following the burning of five tankers of vinyl chloride in East Palestine, new documents obtained via the Freedom of Information Act reveal extensive coordination between FEMA, the White House, the National Security Council, the EPA, and the Department of Justice, voicing serious concerns about health, toxins, and the unmet needs of the community. These documents, which FEMA initially refused to release, indicate that FEMA knew healthcare was the number one issue and that the plume was highly toxic, with the potential for cancer clusters. The agency acknowledged that the occurrence of a cancer cluster at East Palestine is not zero and expressed the need for a "tripwire" to identify them. These concerns were discussed internally, up to the White House level, yet the unmet needs report was never released to the public or the media. The FEMA coordinator sent by Biden was instructed not to engage with residents, leading to residents calling him the "ghost of October" because they could not reach him. Residents feel this is criminal negligence.

Three additional chemicals have been identified from the Norfolk Southern train derailment in East Palestine. The US Environmental Protection Agency revealed that ethylene Glycommonobutyl ether, Ethylhexylacrylate, and isobutylene were present in the derailed, breached, or burning rail cars. Ethylhexylacrylate is a concerning carcinogen that can cause skin and eye irritation, while inhalation may lead to nose and throat irritation, coughing, and shortness of breath. Isobutylene can cause dizziness and drowsiness when inhaled. Residents were allowed to return home, but the EPA recommends thorough cleaning to remove any lingering chemicals. Concerns about long-term effects, such as cancer clusters and contaminated well water, have been raised. It is advised that individuals in the area undergo health checkups and keep records for future reference.

Two years after the East Palestine toxic plume, residents Tara Hicks, Christa Graves, and Lonnie Miller report ongoing health issues like migraines and respiratory problems. They are part of a group of 793 residents filing a new suit against Norfolk Southern and other defendants, alleging a conspiracy involving Vanguard, BlackRock, Mercy Health, and Quest to deny healthcare. Residents claim that medical professionals dismissed their concerns, attributing their symptoms to age or stress. The suit accuses the CDC of failing to provide adequate public health response and medical support, and of instructing health professionals not to test for dioxins and other toxic chemicals. A CDC letter obtained by News Nation allegedly advised hospitals and local health providers against testing or treatment related to specific chemical exposures. An attorney representing the residents believes the letter implies residents are "crazy" and that nothing is really wrong with them.
