Surrounding areas should have been evacuated for a certain period of time (with an abundance of caution)
What these people can do is go visit family or a hotel for a bit of an extended vacation if they're able, and if they have to commute to the area, make arrangements for that.
Due to the nature of what was there, the lower to the ground you are the more susceptible, think carbon monoxide: You could be totally safe on your bed and drop off and suddenly die without knowing it.
I am unsure if there are consumer products for testing for what was released, but I would be looking for them / asking people I knew about them that work in industries where these sort of chemicals and gases were used.

My husband's son lived .8 miles from epi center. He was not evacuated until 2 days later.
It is a shit show.
I think such advice should be given to the people. Their minds are probably so filled with chemicals they cant think for themselves. Thx
