In the US state of Ohio, they are trying to eliminate the consequences of the spill of hundreds of tons of extremely dangerous, carcinogenic vinyl chloride.

According to APA, the American police reported on this on the Telegram channel.

As a result of the derailment of 50 cars, it was determined that chemicals were spilled and burned.

The state administration announced the evacuation of local residents.

However, the consequences of this emergency may extend beyond the accident site, as the Ohio River was poisoned during the chemical spill.

About 5 million people drink water from this river.
