Health Consultation: Public Health Evaluation of Soil Sampling Data in Greenwich, Fairfield County, Connecticut, February 17, 2016.

摘要

In the spring of 2014, the officials in the town of Greenwich (Town), Connecticut asked the Connecticut Department of Public Health (CT DPH) to evaluate whether soil removal in the area southwest of West Brothers Brook (the affected area) in the Greenwich High School property (school property) would protect public health. This health consultation evaluates whether soil removal in the affected area of the school property was health protective. In July 2011, contractors found stained soils during the excavation of a utility trench on the school property. Elevated levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were found in soil samples. After this discovery, health accessors performed extensive soil characterization across the entire school property.
