Federal teams went door to door over the weekend to check on 350 households in East Palestine, Ohio, and inquire about their health after a freight train containing hazardous chemicals derailed earlier this month, the White House said Monday.
The Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were involved in the door-to-door effort. They provided flyers with resources and conducted health surveys, a White House official said.
Local residents also have made it clear they do not trust the railroad company to be candid about the health and environmental fallout.
