Ohio Gov. DeWine visits the train derailment site in East Palestine to get an update on the hazardous waste removal from the area nearly four weeks after the train derailed and released several toxic chemicals.
"This means we don't have to send samples away for analysis -- we can analyze them right here in the bus, as we collect them, and provide the results very quickly," Shore said at a news briefing Tuesday.Shore was asked repeatedly whether the cleanup and recovery response will include testing for dioxins, a group of toxic chemical compounds., dioxins are known as persistent organic pollutants, meaning once they are released into the environment, they take a long time to break down.
Teams tested for dioxins immediately after the controlled burn but did not find high levels of the compounds, Shore said. The damage may have caused a "small amount" of contaminants from Sulpher Run to enter Leslie Run, Ohio's EPA said, but that those contaminants were heavily diluted.
