Pollution from Ohio train derailment spreads to 16 states — ABC
The February 2023 train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, spread a plume of chemicals across 16 states, according to a study.
Scientists estimate that the total area of the cloud from the burning chemicals was 540,000 square miles (14% of the U.S.). The contamination affected 110 million residents, or one-third of the country's population.
Researchers determined the impact of the disaster by collecting sediment samples from 260 locations.
Reminder that 11 of the derailed railcars were carrying hazardous substances. Five of them contained the volatile colorless gas vinyl chloride. The others also contained ethyl acrylate and isobutylene, which are considered very toxic and possibly carcinogenic.
