Ohio Train Derailment Could Bring Cancer Risk, Millions in Damage

(Bloomberg)

"Nearly two weeks after a train carrying #carcinogenic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, the extent of the damage to the nearby community is still unclear. Railroads face a traffic backlog and operator Norfolk Southern Corp. could rack up tens of millions of dollars in costs.

"Though residents have been allowed to return to their homes, many remain concerned about the long-term environmental effects of the Feb. 3 accident. Some of them watched from a distance as a fiery cloud blazed above the wreckage after Norfolk Southern, in conjunction with authorities, decided to intentionally vent and burn some of the railcars to avoid a potential explosion.

“'I’ve had discussions with some people who live right near ground zero who are hesitant to come back,' said James Wise, a local attorney who filed a class-action lawsuit against Norfolk Southern on behalf of some residents. 'There are people with young children and they don’t know what effects it’s going to have.'"

@anamckellar Times editorial: #JenniRussell drew attention to a great #EnvironmentalCatastrophe: a mass #extinction of #MarineLife in the #NorthSea off #Teesside. A 30 mile section of coast has been turned into a #MarineDesert. #Fishermen report that catches of lobster, crab & other #crustaceans have collapsed. Response secretive & deeply unsatisfactory; #PublicConfidence at stake. Govt boasting of #MarineProtectedAreas while Britain's domestic waters among most #polluted in Europe.
