CDC officials investigating potential health impacts from a toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, became ill during their study, CNN reported.
Seven CDC members reported sore throats, headaches, coughing and nausea while in East Palestine, Ohio, weeks after a Norfolk Southern train derailed in early February and a controlled burn leaked hazardous materials, including vinyl chloride, into the environment, the CDC told CNN.
The CDC members’ symptoms are consistent with health complaints reported by residents and first responders.
