Health Consultation: Marietta Area Air Investigation, Marietta, Ohio, July 1, 2009

摘要

On May 22, 2000, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) was petitioned by United States Senator Mike DeWine (Ohio) to evaluate the health effects from air pollution on residents of Marietta, Washington County, Ohio (ATSDR, 2000). Although many facilities are located along the Ohio River Valley, residents have expressed particular concern about an industrial complex just outside Marietta. This complex is the former site of a single facility, Union Carbide, which is currently occupied by four companies including: Eramet Marietta, Inc. (EMI), Eveready Battery, Solvay Advanced Polymers, and Chevron-Phillips Chemical Company. American Municipal Power (AMP) Ohio, originally built to provide power to Union Carbide, is located across the street from the complex.
