Health Consultation: Summary of Environmental Data and Exposure Pathway Evaluation; Health Risk Assessment; and Health Outcome Data, LaFarge Cement Plant, Revena, Albany County, New York. EPA Facility ID: NYD002069557, January 9, 2013

摘要

In 2009, Community Advocates for Safe Emissions (CASE) requested that the New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) investigate the impact on community health posed by the cement plant located in Ravena, Albany County. As a result, NYS DOH and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) are completing an overall assessment of the possible health impact of contaminants released from the cement plant located in Ravena, New York, currently owned and operated by Lafarge Building Materials Inc. In response to skepticism expressed by CASE that an assessment of the health impact of the cement plant completed by NYS DOH and ATSDR would adequately address all historical releases from the plant, and would include adequate opportunity for the community to participate, the Department completed the overall assessment of the health impact of the cement plant in two sequential phases, each with a separate report. Phase One is completion of this Final Phase One Health Consultation (HC) report. Phase Two is completion of a Phase Two Public Health Assessment (PHA) report, which will be based on information presented and conclusions reached in this HC report.
