The EPA's Inspector General is investigating the agency's four-day delay in deploying its advanced sensor-equipped plane over East Palestine, Ohio, following the Norfolk Southern train derailment last year. Concerns were raised about the agency's response and the potential health risks from the venting and burning of vinyl chloride, a toxic chemical. While EPA officials maintain that their actions were appropriate, a whistleblower has criticized the limited data collected during the operation and questioned the agency's overall response.
