Louis DeAngelis on Ring of Fire and Hill Rising to discuss EPA and Norfolk Sothern's FAILURES in East Palestine

Louis talks about the mainstream media black out on East Palestine: "We put out the piece [about the EPA's lack of testing], and literally no one else is talking about this in any real way."

Investigative reporter Louis DeAngelis, from Status Coup, went on Hill Rising THIS week to speak with Robbie Soave and Brianna Joy Gray about Status Coup’s ON-THE-GROUND coverage in East Palestine. They discuss the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) latency in, and lack of testing for chemicals such as formaldehyde and toxins like Dioxins, and others that carry substantial health risks—according to scientists DeAngelis has spoken with.

In his interview on Ring of Fire with Farron Cousins, Louis DeAngelis discussed how the Inspector General of the EPA is launching an investigation into failures in East Palestine following the Norfolks Southern derailment disaster. Louis talks about how residents CONTINUE to report symptoms such as headaches, respiratory problems, dizziness, burning eyes, bronchitis, rashes, and other issues.

He also breaks down the ON-THE-GROUND coverage from his recent trips to East Palestine, including what he’s uncovered by speaking with individuals and groups who are conducting independent chemical testing and are blowing the whistle about the long list of toxins the EPA and Norfolk Southern are NOT testing for.

While most national news media has moved on to their next click-bait headline, we are STAYING ON TOP of this story to bring REAL updates from the people impacted.
