Toxic Air, Lives Lost & East Palestine: What Environmental Exposure Means for Your Health
by Wendy Jean, CFGP, CHHC, CFN | Lyme & Environmental Toxin Advocate
Updated March 2026
What Happened in East Palestine
In 2023, a train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio released hazardous chemicals—including vinyl chloride—into the surrounding environment, raising widespread concerns about air, water, and long-term health impacts.
Chemicals like vinyl chloride were intentionally burned, creating a plume of toxic smoke that spread beyond the immediate area.
Residents in Ohio & Pennsylvania reported symptoms like headaches, respiratory irritation, and nausea, while long-term health impacts are still being studied. Many residents have reported PTSD, cancer, and women's health issues.
Why This Matters Beyond One Town
What happened in East Palestine is not an isolated event.
Studies have shown that chemical releases from the derailment spread across multiple states, raising concerns about how environmental exposures travel and impact communities far beyond the original source.
And research is ongoing to understand the long-term health effects of these exposures.
What We Know—and What We Don’t
Environmental monitoring has shown mixed findings.
Some agencies report no ongoing risk based on current testing, while many residents and researchers continue to raise concerns about long-term exposure and symptoms.
This is where uncertainty exists—and why continued research and awareness matter.
If you’ve been feeling off, reactive, or unsure how to support your body in today’s environment—
You’re not alone.

Where Environmental Health Meets Personal Biology
Not everyone exposed to the same environment experiences the same symptoms.
Why?
Because your body’s ability to detox, regulate inflammation, and respond to stress is deeply personal.
Genetics, nutrient status, immune function, and toxic burden all influence how environmental exposures affect you.
This is where personalized health becomes essential.
This Isn’t Slowing Down
Environmental exposure is not decreasing.
Industrial chemicals, air pollutants, and environmental stressors continue to be part of modern life.
So the question isn’t whether exposure exists—
It’s how prepared your body is to handle it.
And what your plan is moving forward.
We may not be able to control every exposure in today’s world.
But we can control how we understand and support our bodies in response.
Because the real question isn’t just: “What’s happening in the environment?”
It’s: “How is MY body handling it—and what can I do about it?”

Imagine you are a big book.
Inside your book are thousands of pages filled with words — these are your genes. The words never change, just like your DNA never changes.
But here’s the twist:
Epigenetics is like the bookmarks, highlighters, and sticky notes that decide which pages get read, which ones get skipped, and which ones get read more often.
So while the story (your DNA) stays the same, the way it’s told can change depending on your choices and your environment—like what you eat, how much you move, how you sleep, and even the air around you.
In other words:
You are the book, your genes are the words, and epigenetics is how the story gets read. 📖
We may not be able to control every exposure in today’s world.
But we can control how we understand and support our bodies in response.
Because the real question isn’t just: “What’s happening in the environment?”
It’s: “How is MY body handling it—and what can I do about it?”
Best in Health, Wendy Jean
