“We could definitely smell the odor in the home, the air felt thicker. My girlfriend spent the entire day just cleaning…as much as she could. The next day, I experienced lightheadedness, dizziness, and extreme fatigue,” said one East Palestine resident.
Scragg, one of many locals suing the company for the derailment, said he had to leave his home with his family after the evacuation order was sent out in the area, forcing them to move to a hotel for most of the week.“It was very hard to explain what was happening to a 5-year-old. … He was very intrigued," Scragg said in an interview with the Washington Examiner. “I had to go to a hotel for four days. I had to uproot my kids and put them in a whole new environment.
The air quality, though initially thought to be safe, has recently come under question. Texas A&M University researchers reported Friday that tests of the air quality had found nine pollutants that could cause long-term health problems for residents. In the Struthers, Ohio, area,"their tap water is cloudy … and that’s coming from their city tap," he said."It looks like someone blew smoke in their water. … To me, it’s highly suspicious.”
"They should not have built new tracks. … They should have prioritized safety," he added. “That has been very hurtful to me, I feel that they don’t care about us.”
