Health Consultation: Brooklyn Township PM2.5 Brooklyn Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania Cost Recovery Number: 3A4K00, April 22, 2016.

摘要

In June 2015, local residents presented citizen-collected ambient air data and a summary of self-reported health symptoms to federal and state agencies. Citizens requested assistance from the Pennsylvania Department of Health (PADOH), Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with assessing particulate matter exposures in the vicinity of the Williams Central natural gas compressor station (Station) in Brooklyn Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. This request resulted in an 18-day EPA field air monitoring event in August and September 2015. This EPA field activity produced valid and representative fine particulate matter data (PM2.5), which was provided to ATSDR on September 17, 2015 for public health evaluation. ATSDR completed its review of the EPA data and presents its analysis, conclusions, recommendations, and limitations in this health consultation (HC).
