East Palestine Ohio Train Derailment Water Testing Update - March 17

In this video, we dive into our initial test results from the chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio.

We'll visualize the data we have so far and explain what it means when contaminants are present in varying amounts, including their potential health risks. We'll also explore the limitations of current testing methods and why it's essential to keep monitoring the situation.

For this video, the test kits used were one of three below, provided either through Tap Score or SimpleLab.

Advanced City Water Test:
Advanced Well Water Test:
VOCs Water Test:

🧑‍🔬💧⚠Some important clarifications! 🧑‍🔬💧⚠
SimpleLab does not work for the EPA, Norfolk Southern, or any other private companies or public organizations.

We offer testing kits to consumers. The results in this video are from a small sampling of ground and utility water tests (no soil or air) and are not meant to be comprehensive, nor conclusive. We hope to release more results, including PFAS and dioxins, in the future.

We are very concerned for the residents of East Palestine and believe continued and comprehensive monitoring is necessary. 🔬🧪🔍

Looking forward to the next video, Ryan!

Soil levels are 100x over what is considered safe, results have just come out but everyone's been distracted by water and air stats

[dianelooper]

When will Dioxin results be available? Have you done testing on the border in PA near Palestine?

[bobwilk]

To testing environment we need those responsible for Disaster present.

[sbcap]

Could you overlap the rail track line? Road used by hazmat trucks? Streams and lakes?

[josephcook]

If testing well water, it'll take time to soak in. Where's the surface water results, flow direction? Wind direction at time of burn? 100 miles north west is wrong direction for both, my guess

[G-gnome]

Which labs are being used? Is there a lab outside of NS shareholders that are parent/sister company to the lab?

It seems that the person making the video is on the side of the gov and Norfolk Southern as he keeps saying this wasn't caused by the derailment, and that wasn't. How does he know? There must be some contamination from that fire with black plume that burned for days of hazardous chemicals all over the area. I bet the implications of this will be far and wide as they are shipping the waste all over the country instead of just keeping it in one place. As they have already destroyed that place for years to come, for generations there will be health problems from this. Why didn't they rest for dioxins in the first place. They should have been sampling the air water and soil from when they started the uncontrolled burn.

Then why when you swirl your water it look s like gas snd or oil

[realmstupid-ondf]

So it's the chloroform in the water for why I don't remember last night. SEE!! IM NOT A DRUNK

[mikehoncho]

How about you get a bench mark from a river in Indiana because the jet stream took the ari contamination east and north and the river took continents southwest then test all down river of east Palestine and test the soil north east of east Palestine for traces of acid rain until then…

MAY GOD OUR FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR GUIDE BLESS AND PROTECT US FROM THEM WITHIN OUR OWN GOVERNMENTS AS WE FULFILL OUR LIFES MISSIONS I PRAY AMEN
I DON'T BELIEVE A WORD THAT ANY OF THEM SAY ANYMORE!

[tjcrash]

I'm in Proctorville Ohio and have been since the derailment, should I move out of state? If so where? Florida again maybe 🤔

[Uhnonuhmous]

Thanks Langley graduate. So basically you soft peddled it for gubberment? 👎

[rabscots]

You actually believe that? I don't think you do.

[thelogos]

look at 2 points of 100 and youre saying nothing is there.. it looks to me like you found thge only 2 spots that may have been far less contaminated than other areas. if youre not thorough, your efforts are garbage and so is this information. so thanks for nothing.
