美国专家对美国俄亥俄州发生灾难性的火车脱轨事故后，火灾和化学品污染对人和环境造成的损害表示严重关切。

Many of them contained hazardous chemicals including butyl acrylate and vinyl chloride, which were among the combustible liquids that authorities feared could set off a major explosion.

On Feb. 6, authorities allowed Norfolk Southern, the transportation company operating the train, to run so-called "controlled explosion" of the hazardous chemicals, which caused a large plume of black smoke.

2月6日，当局允许运营这列火车的诺福克南方铁路公司对危险化学品进行了所谓的“受控爆炸”处理，引发现场黑烟滚滚。
