摘要

The primary goal of this document is to present an epidemiological review of health outcome data in the area of Swift Creek, summarize activities conducted at the site since the previous health consultation was written, identify remaining data gaps, and prepare a public health action plan designed to fill data gaps. Filling data gaps will provide the basis for future public health actions and risk communications to citizens. DOH prepares health consultations under a cooperative agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).
