Authorities had warned that burning vinyl chloride that was in five of the derailed tanker cars near the Ohio-Pennsylvania line would send toxic gas into the air.
Authorities in East Palestine had warned thatwould send hydrogen chloride and the toxic gas phosgene into the air.
James Justice of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said around-the-clock air monitoring has shown normal, un-concerning levels. Hundreds of data points from that “show that the air quality in the town is safe,” he said. The fire from the chemical release is no longer burning, and crews have started removing some of the wreckage.
This photo taken with a drone Saturday shows portions of a Norfolk Southern freight train that derailed Friday night in East Palestine, Ohio. No injuries have been reported from the derailment or from the controlled release of the chemicals on Monday, but some people have complained about smelling chlorine and smoke in the air and having headaches.
