Health Assessment for Universal Oil Products National Priorities List (NPL) Site, East Rutherford, New Jersey, Region 2. CERCLIS No. NJD002005106

摘要

The 75-acre Universal Oil Products property is located in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Aromatic chemicals were produced at the property beginning in 1932. Analyses of on-site soil samples show volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (e.g., benzene), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and heavy metal (e.g., lead) contamination within the top four feet. The site is considered to be of public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the likelihood of exposure to hazardous substances via ingestion, inhalation, and direct dermal contact with contaminants in the soil, groundwater surface water, and sediment. There is also a possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via ingestion of contaminated biota.
