“On Sunday, the EPA released a list, written by Norfolk Southern, of the toxic chemicals that were in the derailed cars.”
Ten of the 50 cars that derailed in East Palestine carried hazardous chemicals, five of them vinyl chloride, a carcinogen. Crews burned it off in a “controlled release,” and officials now insist the air and water are safe. The list of what spilled came from Norfolk Southern, the company facing the lawsuits. Residents report burning eyes and sick animals while the polluter writes its own inventory.
