The head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday he doesn't want any stigmas attached to the Ohio community where a train derailed and spewed toxic gases three weeks ago and that he's pushing the railroad to clean up the mess as fast as possible.
The agency is continuing to monitor the air around East Palestine and working to protect the area during the cleanup, said EPA Administrator Michael Regan. State and federal officials say testing has shown no signs of contamination from the derailment in the air or the village's water system.
