Health Consultation: Evaluation of Community Exposures and Concerns Related to Fenimore Landfill, Roxbury Township, New Jersey, May 11, 2016.

摘要

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) evaluates community exposures and makes recommendations to prevent harmful exposures to hazardous substances in the environment. The goal of this health consultation is to give the people living near the Fenimore Landfill in Roxbury Township, New Jersey, trusted scientific information to protect their health. Fenimore Landfill is a former private landfill that was reopened in 2011 and accepted construction and demolition waste until June 2013. In 2012, residents living near the landfill began complaining of odors coming from the landfill, mostly a rotten egg odor suggesting a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) release. In 2013, ATSDR received two petitions from the community to evaluate potential health hazards associated with releases from the landfill.
