The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday ordered Norfolk Southern to conduct all necessary actions associated with cleaning up the fiery train derailment in Ohio, stepping up oversight efforts after residents complained about rashes and other health concerns.
The order comes a little more than two weeks after a Norfolk Southern freight train carrying hazardous materials derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, on Feb. 3, spilling chemicals and spurring health concerns. Five of the cars contained vinyl chloride, which was discharged through a controlled release to prevent an explosion.
