Cleanup in East Palestine continues due to high levels of harmful chemicals found after a train derailment.

The cleanup in East Palestine, following a Norfolk Southern train derailment last February, is still ongoing despite earlier claims of progress. Recent tests found high levels of harmful chemicals like vinyl chloride and benzene. Chris Hunsicker, leading the cleanup, hopes to finish by the end of the first quarter of next year, though weather and construction delays could push back completion. The EPA is still investigating the site.
