Residents around East Palestine fear they, their animals and water sources were exposed to hazardous chemicals.
East Palestine has scheduled an emergency council meeting for Wednesday to respond to constituents' concerns.
"When they combusted the materials, they created other chemicals. The question is what did they create?" he said. Sopko said she’s concerned about the conditions. The ranch's water comes from its own two wells, but until experts can test them, Sopko said, her team is using one well with a more sophisticated filtration system."ODA has not received any official reports regarding the wellness of animals related to the incident," it said in a statement.
"The biggest concern is the water table at this point, to see what kind of exposure there has been to these chemicals," said the bureau's organizing director, Nick Kennedy.
