The government team that experienced symptoms is from the CDC’s Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, or ATSDR, a branch that assesses the health impacts of chemical exposures. After the train derailment, ATSDR sent 15 people to East Palestine to conduct an Assessment of Chemical Exposure, known as an ACE investigation

you’d definitely think that would be the group who’d know what measures to take to protect themselves.

( though the article does say they’re all contractors. which seems very “small government” of the epa )
