The United States Government insists that the area affected by the spills after the derailment of a train in Ohio thirteen days ago is safe and the water is not contaminated, despite the fears of the neighbors.
The train, of about fifty wagons, was transporting toxic material in eleven of them and derailed on February 3 as it passed through East Palestine, a town of less than 5,000 inhabitants sixty kilometers from the industrial city of Pittsburgh and close to the border. Ohio with Pennsylvania.
Although East Palestine is small and in a fairly unpopulated area, the issue is being used by Republicans to criticize the federal government for the consequences of what happened, despite the fact that the Joe Biden Administration insists that there is no danger in area.
The Environmental Protection Agency has continued to scour the area and as of yesterday afternoon had checked 486 homes.
In these inspections, the quality of the air but also that of the water is being checked, and there is no data that causes “concern” about said quality, the agency insists on its website.
