Levels of carcinogenic chemical near Ohio derailment site far above safe limit
Newly released data shows soil in the Ohio town of East Palestine… contains dioxin levels hundreds of times greater than exposure threshold above what EPA consider safe from cancer…
After resisting calls for weeks to test for dioxins, the EPA on 3 March announced it would order Norfolk Southern to do so. Separately, Indiana last week commissioned testing of East Palestine soil because one of the state’s landfills is storing it. The testing was conducted by what Birnbaum characterized as a reputable laboratory.
