, butyl acrylate, ethylhexyl acrylate, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, and isobutylene, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said in a letter to Norfolk Southern on Friday.
Ohio Health Department Director Bruce Vanderhoff cautioned at a news conference Tuesday that residents who were worried about lingering odors or headaches since the derailment should know that those can be triggered by contaminant levels in the air that are well below what’s unsafe. But some residents, who complained about a stench in the air, burning in their eyes, and sick animals, say they worry about the long-term effects of even low-grade exposure to contaminants from the site.Contaminants from derailed cars spilled into some waterways and were toxic to fish, but officials have said drinking water in the area has remained protected.
A plume of contaminants that includes butyl acrylate formed in the Ohio River in the first days after the derailment and on Tuesday was flowing slowly, nearing Huntington, West Virginia, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency officials said.
