The EPA (feds) isn’t involved because of the idiotic politics.
Ohio EPA is testing the water supply. Because of the politics of that organization, with leadership reporting to Dewine, I wouldn’t trust their results at all.
Having now perused the test reports from Eurofins Canton, the independent testing lab contracted not by Ohio EPA, but by the railroad, the overall conclusion was that “there is no risk to East Palestine Public Water customers” even though there were dangerous compounds like chloroform, bromidichloromethane, phthalates, and other organic chlorine compounds that tested above safe threaholds in the results themselves.
