A new health clinic is coming to East Palestine, Ohio, amid rising concerns about toxic chemicals from the train derailment there earlier this month, local officials said Monday.
The site will open Tuesday for East Palestine-area residents “who have medical questions or concerns related to the recent train derailment,” according to the Ohio Department of Health.
The move comes after the state attorney general’s office indicated that it would take legal action against railway company Norfolk Southern over the 150-car train derailment on Feb. 3.
