east-palestine-animal-death-toll-reaches-43700-after-train-derailment

An estimated 43,700-plus aquatic animals in East Palestine, Ohio, died following the train derailment there earlier this month.
Mary Mertz, the director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, said in a virtual press conference that consulting group EnviroScience surveyed four different sites to calculate Thursday’s new figure — which marked a disturbing climb from last week’s count of 3,500 dead aquatic animals.
She added that the Environmental Protection Agency had warned her staff that it was “too dangerous to enter the water without specialized gear” after the derailment on Feb. 3.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/east-palestine-animal-death-toll-reaches-43700-after-train-derailment_n_63f8f4ffe4b0735bf8778cab
