Health Assessment for Industrial Lane National Priorities List (NPL) Site, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, Region 3. CERCLIS No. PAD980508493

摘要

The Industrial Lane National Priorities List site is located in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. In 1980, low level groundwater contamination was detected in the Industrial Lane study area. To date the source of the contamination has not been conclusively identified. The contaminants of concern are tetrachloroethane, vinyl chloride, benzene, trichlorethene, and 1,1-dichloroethene. Most of these contaminants were also detected in residential wells. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances in the groundwater. Consideration should be given to adopting institutional controls to prevent future installation and use of potable water supply wells in the contaminated portion of the aquifer.
