Brown and Vance requested plans in place to monitor East Palestine and the surrounding area for dioxins.
According to the U.S. EPA, dioxins are highly toxic, can interfere with hormones, and can cause cancer, reproductive and developmental problems, or damage to the immune system.
“I am glad additional federal personnel and resources from FEMA and the CDC are on their way to better support the residents of East Palestine,” Brown said. “Make no mistake – I have made clear to Norfolk Southern that it must ensure the people of East Palestine are properly compensated for experiencing this trauma and this community must be made whole. I will continue to work to make sure everyone affected will have all the resources they need – both now and in the future.
