Officials believe that water and air are safe in East Palestine, Ohio, amid concerns about hazardous materials after a train derailment.US Sen.

Anger and frustration continued to boil over this week, as residents demanded answers of officials and Norfolk Southern. Hundreds of residents attended a town hall, expressing concern about air and water safety and their mounting distrust of civil leaders. And state officials have repeatedly determined water from the municipal system -- which is pulled from five deep wells covered by solid steel casing -- is safe to drink, though the state EPA has encouraged those who use private wells to get that water tested, since they may be closer to the surface.Feds sending medical experts to Ohio toxic train wreck site amid residents' safety concerns

Brown reiterated that Sunday. The company has promised to provide a $1,000 payment to residents within the zip code, but the senator said it would need to go far beyond that and live up to its commitment to "making everybody whole."
