Health Assessment for Koppers Company Incorporated, Florence, South Carolina, Region 4. CERCLIS No. SCD003353026

摘要

Koppers Company, Incorporated-Florence (KCI-F) is located in northeastern South Carolina near the city of Florence. KCI-F is on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Priorities List; KCI-F is also listed as a Resource Conservation Recovery Act facility. Available data identify pentachlorophenol (PCP), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), naphthalene, and phenols among the contaminants present in on-site and off-site groundwater. In addition to PCP, analyses of on-site soil borings demonstrated high levels of oil and grease. No surface soil assays were conducted. Known exposure pathways include ingestion, inhalation and dermal contact with contaminated groundwater and soil. Adverse health effects have been associated with some of the identified contaminants in the quantities reported in the preliminary data. However, more current and extensive sampling data of pertinent environmental media are needed to fully assess the public health implications of the site.
