Health Consultation: Exposure Investigation. Biological Monitoring for Exposure to Lead and Arsenic, Superior, Mineral County, Montana. Cost Recovery Number: 80ER, March 31, 2011

摘要

The community of Superior, Montana is located in close proximity to the Flat Creek Iron Mountain Mine and Mill (IMM) site. In the past, waste tailings from the IMM site were used as fill material in Superior, resulting in high levels of metals in town soils. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) conducted this Exposure Investigation (EI) to assess the exposure of residents of this community to lead and arsenic that were found in soil samples of residences and public spaces following soil evaluation by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
