The Penn Talks Science team is back with a new episode covering the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, and the consequences of the following toxic chemical spill. Such is one of many incidents, so we wanted to understand the implications of improper transport of toxic chemicals. We reached out to the Penn community and invited Dr. Trevor Penning from the <a href="https://ceet.upenn.edu/home/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology</a> to speak about the spill. Give it a listen and leave a review! For more resources check out our Twitter!
