Scientist says nature's 'skeleton key' could be solution to toxic chemical spills and save East Palestine
Fox News
Tradd Cotter, a mushroom expert of nearly 40 years, told Fox News that using fungi may be effective in cleaning up the chemical spill in East Palestine, Ohio.
On Feb. 3, about 50 cars on a freight train derailed in the 4,700-person Ohio town. A number of the cars contained and released hazardous material, including the colorless toxic gas vinyl chloride. Residents were initially evacuated until workers burned the chemicals to prevent an explosion. Over a million gallons of contaminated water and 15,000 pounds of contaminated soil have been removed from the location. Kassy Dillon is a reporter for Digital Originals.
