Ohio Train Derailment, Toxic Injury & MCS: Madison Scott and Lynn Singer, PhD

On February 3, 2023, a freight train carrying hazardous chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, in the U.S. Days later, a “controlled burn” released a massive plume into the air. Many residents who returned home soon became ill.

In this episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast, Aaron Goodman speaks with sociologist Madison Scott and toxic exposure expert Professor Lynn Singer. 

They explore how:

• Toxic exposure triggered ongoing symptoms akin to Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), including brain fog, rashes, and fatigue.
•  Many residents continue to report symptoms long after officials declared the area safe.
•  Emerging biological research may reveal critical information about the mechanisms behind MCS.
• And more!
