'I make $14 an hour. Where am I supposed to go?' said Audrey DeSanzo, who lives about half a mile from the derailment with her two grade-school-age children. 'I don't want to be here now with my kids.'
Residents are worried that rashes, headaches and other symptoms may be tied to hazardous materials from the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment.
These test results have failed to reassure some residents, who say something is making them sick -- even if officials can't find it."When we went back on the 10th, that's when we decided that we couldn't raise our kids here," Amanda Greathouse said. There was a terrible, lingering smell that "reminded me of hair perming solution."
"The chemical smell was so strong that it made me nauseous," Greathouse said. "I just wanted to quickly pick up what I needed and leave. I only took a few pieces of clothes because even the clothes smelled like chemicals, and I'm afraid to put them on my kids."EPA pledges to hold train company accountable over Ohio toxic train disaster as frustrations grow
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said a request for medical experts from the US Department of Health and Human Services has been granted, and officials should be arriving early next week to help prop up a clinic for patients. The volatile organic compounds released by the controlled explosion can cause symptoms similar to those reported by some East Palestine residents, including headache, sore throat, and nose and eye irritation, but experts say it's extremely difficult to connect chemical exposures to health effects.
"They need all the help they can get," she said. "This is a major emergency. This is a major disaster. They need all the assistance that we all can provide.Audrey DeSanzo would like some answers, too. Debbie Pietrzak, a spokesperson for Salem Regional Medical Center, which runs the clinic DeSanzo went to, confirmed that it has treated a small number of residents with symptoms like sore throats and respiratory problems. The hospital's emergency room has seen fewer than 10 patients from East Palestine, she said.
"I make $14 an hour. Where am I supposed to go?" she said. "I don't want to be here now with my kids."Ayla and Tyler Antoniazzi and their two daughters have been living in East Palestine since April. After the train crash, they weren't sure about moving out, Ayla says, but they're now considering it.
