Health Assessment for General Electric-Coshocton Plant, Coshocton, Coshocton County, Ohio, Region 5. CERCLIS No. OHD004302428

摘要

The General Electric-Coshocton Plant site is listed on the National Priorities List. The environmental contamination on-site consists of phenols, arsenic, and lead, the concentrations of which have declined over time. Phenols (1,888 ppm to hundredths of one ppm), lead (8 ppm to levels at or below the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 0.05 ppm), and arsenic (0.13 ppm to levels at or below the MCL of 0.05 ppm) in groundwater; and phenols (unknown to 54 ppm) in soil. In addition, several volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been detected in groundwater, including benzene (0.04 ppm), acetone (0.1 ppm), chlorobenzene (0.03 ppm), and 1,1-dichloroethylene (0.04 ppm). The site is considered to be of little public health concern because of the absence of exposure to hazardous substances.
