Health Assessment for Butler Mine Tunnel, Pittston, Pennsylvania, Region 3. CERCLIS No. PAD980508451

摘要

The Butler Mine Tunnel Site (BMT) is a collection and discharge point for acid mine drainage from underground coal mines. Preliminary on-site oil/groundwater sampling results have identified benzene (26 to 1,300 ppb), bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (36 to 13,000 ppb), butylbenzylphthalate (5 to 600 ppb), carbon tetrachloride (ND to 14 ppb), trichloromethane (ND to 7 ppb), 1,3-dichlorobenzene (26 to 100 ppb), diethyl phthalates (ND to 2,200 ppb), dimethylphthalate (ND to 2,400 ppb), di-n-octylphthalate (110 to 792,000 ppb), ethylbenzene (ND to 4,350 ppb), methylene chloride (ND to 795 ppb), toluene (11 to 1,300 ppb), xylene (ND to 11,400 ppb), and 4-bromophenylhexylether (ND to 20,000 ppm). The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of human exposure to hazardous substances.
