On February 3, 2023, a train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio (EP), spilling multiple toxic chemicals from the derailed cars. On February 6, officials decided to “vent and burn” the chemicals, which greatly expanded both the number of toxic chemicals and the geographic reach of the toxic plume carried by prevailing winds. Many residents and first responders experienced a range of symptoms, prominently including irritant symptoms (burning eyes, nose, mouth, and skin), headaches, fatigue, bloody nose, and respiratory symptoms and conditions such as rhinitis, sinusitis, and new asthma.
