Health Assessment for International Mineral and Chemical Corporation (IMC) East Plant NPL (National Priorities List) Site, Terre Haute, Indiana, Region 5. CERCLIS No. INT190010876

摘要

The International Mineral and Chemical Corporation East Plant site, located in Terre Haute, Indiana, is a National Priorities List site. The contaminants of concern are chloroform and benzene hexachloride which are found in on-site and off-site soils and ground water. Potential human exposure pathways include ingestion, dermal, and inhalation exposure of on-site and off-site receptors to benzene hexachloride and chloroform in soil and ground water. On the basis of current information, maximum levels of benzene hexachloride and chloroform are not indicative of acute or chronic non-carcinogenic health effects. However, levels of benzene hexachloride in ground water and soil both on-site and off-site and maximum chloroform concentrations in off-site ground water do pose some carcinogenic risk via oral exposure. The primary receptors of concern are off-site private well users.
