On 2/3/23, a freight train carrying vinyl chloride derailed along the Norfolk Southern Railway in East Palestine, OH. Emergency crews conducted a controlled burn of the spill on the request of state officials, which released hydrogen chloride and phosgene into the air. As a result, residents within a 1 mile radius were evacuated, and an emergency response from agencies across 3 states was initiated.
