The Institute of Hazardous Materials Management [IHMM] has been contacted by National Public Radio [NPR] to provide subject matter expertise on the events surrounding the train derailment and subsequent hazardous materials controlled burn in East Palestine, Ohio.

IHMM Board Chair William M. Diesslin, CHMM, was interviewed by NPR for the story that also focused on former EPA Administration Stan Meiburg.

IHMM regularly engages with the news media to encourage the use of IHMM’s subject matter experts to provide background as well as public information on issues concerning hazardous materials management, dangerous goods transportation, environmental protection, workplace health, and safety.

Thank you, Bill.
