Only 370 households and 47 businesses opted out of the $600 million settlement, showing overwhelming support from residents affected by the East Palestine derailment.
Concerned residents questioned the haste of the settlement approval, fearing that the long-term health risks from the derailment could be inadequately addressed or compensated.
Objectors expressed frustration over the lack of transparency regarding health tests and the pressures from attorneys suggesting they would not receive compensation otherwise.
Experts indicate it is too early to assess the long-term health impacts of the derailment, raising uncertainties among those affected.
