Ohio River named America's second-most endangered
The Ohio River is now America’s second-most endangered, according to the American Rivers nonprofit.
The second-place designation comes in the wake of February’s toxic explosion in East Palestine caused by rail giant Norfolk Southern. Hazardous chemicals from 20 derailed train cars leaked poisonous materials in the surrounding air, soil and water. “We see this designation as a call to action for our elected officials. Together we must acknowledge and address the many challenges that face this incredible resource and the millions of people who rely on the Ohio for drinking water, jobs, recreation and simple quality of life,” said Brewster Rhoads, chair of the Ohio River Way.
