Did drinking water samples from the American Legion in East Palestine have detections of vinyl chloride?

No. The drinking water supplied to the American Legion from the Village municipal water system has been tested weekly since the incident and vinyl chloride has not been detected in the drinking water, nor any of the water supply wells. A filter company collected water at the American Legion, and had it spiked with vinyl chloride at a lab to determine if the tools used by the lab could accurately measure vinyl chloride and to evaluate filters sold by the company. Some of the company’s messaging around this testing incorrectly stated that the vinyl chloride came from the drinking water. The company has been made aware of the confusion and is working to correct the messaging.
