Health Assessment for Firestone Landfill, Noblesville, Indiana, Region 5. CERCLIS No. IND980605877

摘要

The Firestone Landfill Site is listed on the National Priorities List. The site is located in the Town of Noblesville, (Hamilton County), Indiana. Preliminary on-site groundwater sampling results have identified various volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs include trans-1,2-dichloroethane (2 to 560 ppb), tetrachloroethylene (1 to 2 ppb), vinyl chloride (34 ppb), and trichloroethylene (2 ppb). The compound 1,1-dichloroethane was detected in on-site sediment (31 ppb). The site is considered to be of public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the likelihood of human exposure to hazardous substances. Human exposure is possible through direct contact and ingestion with contaminated soil and sediment, groundwater, and surface water. Other possible routes of exposure are inhalation of volatilized contaminants and contaminants entrained in air, and ingestion of fish that may bioaccumulate site-related contaminants.
