The Environmental Protection Agency announced it detected chemicals from the East Palestine train derailment in the Ohio River. Although it's unclear what future impacts the chemicals will have on communities, soil and water around the crash site, communities over 250 miles away, in the Greater Cincinnati region, have much less to fear. Tiffani Kavalec, chief of the Ohio EPA, said during a state press conference Tuesday afternoon that, while the chemicals did flow into the Ohio River, it shouldn't affect drinking water along the river.
