EAST PALESTINE, Ohio - As testing efforts continue in East Palestine, the EPA is deploying another mobile laboratory to the area.

The Trace Atmospheric Gas Analyzer (TAGA) mobile laboratory conducts real-time air monitoring and sampling analyses during waste removal.

The mobile lab lets the EPA get air results in real-time for specific chemicals instead of having to send the samples offsite to a lab.

EPA officials say the mobile unit will ensure the removal of waste is done in a manner that protects the health of the community.
