据《福克斯新闻》消息，美国俄亥俄州联邦参议员万斯（JDVance）在本周四（2月16日）发布了一段他在俄州火车脱轨事故小城的河边拍摄的视频，以展示化学品泄漏对河水造成的影响。
视频中，万斯用木棍在小溪河床上蹭刮，水面出现了“化学彩虹”。万斯说，沿河到处都有死去的蚯蚓和鱼类（There are deadworms and dead fish all throughout this water）。
The EPA is lying to us.

在俄亥俄河水的取样中，的确发现了丙烯酸丁酯，它是本次脱轨事故中泄露的有害物质之一。西弗吉尼亚州环境保护部副部长ScottMandirola解释说，联邦政府对饮用水中丙烯酸丁酯的限制为560PPB，而俄州水取样中的含量仅为3PPB。
一些自由派媒体，如《纽约时报》，指责保守派人士借用危机事件散布对政府机构的不信任，并暗示损害可能无法弥补。

保守派政论员Scott Presler、俄州本地新闻记者Yolanda Harris和密歇根州共和党籍前众议员PeterMeijer以及犹他州共和党籍联邦参议员Mike Lee等人则在推特上公开表示了对JD Vance的支持。
Kudos to @JDVance1 onhis response to the East Palestine catastrophe. Service is aboutshowing up + advocacy, but many only arrive when there is a clearpartisan advantage to be had. In reality, many issues aren’tpartisan but about responding to constituents as Vance has done.https://t.co/G4HCa6snPT

美国环保局官方调查结果显示，俄州水质仍是安全的。而万斯表示，如果环保局想证明俄州水质的安全，应该亲自饮用。
