Toxic gases connected to Ohio train derailment cause concern

Days after crews released and burned toxic chemicals transported by a wrecked train in Ohio, residents remain concerned about the toxic substances that could be lingering in their evacuated neighborhoods. About 50 cars, including 10 carrying hazardous materials, derailed in a fiery crash Friday in East Palestine, according to rail operator Norfolk Southern and the National Transportation Safety Board.

在工作人员释放和燃烧俄亥俄州一列失事火车运输的有毒化学品数天后，居民们担心有毒物质可能仍停留在他们被疏散后的社区内。 据铁路运营商诺福克南方铁路和美国国家运输安全委员会称，大约 50 节火车车厢——其中 10 节载有危险材料——周五在东巴勒斯坦发生火警事故，脱出轨道。
