State agencies are warning people not to eat mountain whitefish caught in the Yellowstone River in the area where a train carrying chemicals went off the tracks in June
The department’s staff collected five mountain whitefish and five rainbow trout below the derailment site for contaminant testing as a followup to the incident that occurred on June 24, a news release stated. The derailment caused a bridge over the Yellowstone River to collapse, sending several cars into the water, Stillwater County officials said in June. Montana Rail Link said damaged rail cars had “molten sulfur and asphalt” on board, CNN previously reported.
However, the specific source of the phenanthrene found in the mountain whitefish and whether it was a result of the derailment is not yet known, according to officials. PAHs occur naturally in the environment, especially in the shale rock commonly found in the Yellowstone River Basin, according to the release.
