Letter Health Consultation: Evaluation of Exposure Related to Soil Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Verification, December 2009, Southside High School, Elmira, Chemung County, New York. EPA Facility ID: NYD987025921, March 4, 2010.

摘要

Between January 28 and February 9, 2010, the New York State Department of Health's (NYS DOH's) Bureau of Environmental Exposure Investigation received a validated air data package from the Elmira City School District's consultant, Sterling Environmental Engineering, P.C. (Sterling), for the above-referenced property. The air samples were collected in December of 2009 to verify that mitigation actions currently being implemented at the school are continuing to be effective. These actions are intended to ensure that contaminants beneath the school are not being drawn into the building and affecting the indoor air quality. The NYS DOH, under a cooperative agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), has completed our evaluation of the data in the context of prior air sampling completed at the school. The NYS DOH and ATSDR's goal is to make sure the New York State Education Department (NYS ED) has the information the NYS ED, Elmira City School District and Southside High School community need to understand the health effects associated with the chemicals found in the indoor air of the high school and what additional actions, if any, we recommend to reduce human exposures.
