DeWine said Thursday that a multimillion-dollar healthcare fund needs to be set up for residents who experience health problems in the future that can be connected to the recent toxic train derailment.
Residents have also expressed fear that long-term health problems could arise in the future due to the air quality in the town. Residents have additionally been concerned about chemicals possibly contaminating the town's water, but the Environmental Protection Agency reassured residents that the water is safe to drink after finding no contaminants in the water it tested.
"If you look at what has happened in other rail and other big environmental disasters, some much, much bigger than this, it always goes to a fund. That's how you protect people," DeWine said.
