Health Consultation: Lefton Iron and Metal Company, East St. Louis, St. Clair County, Illinois. EPA Facility ID: ILD984809244

摘要

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has evaluated two Lefton Iron & Metal Company properties at 205 South 17th Street and 1901 Converse Avenue in East St. Louis upon the request of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA). In 1994, IDPH reviewed and evaluated information provided by Illinois EPA and determined that the site posed a public health hazard for on-site workers and area residents (IDPH, 1994). Since that time, several investigations and cleanup activities have taken place. This health consultation will determine if current conditions pose a hazard to the public. Illinois EPA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), and other agencies provided data and reports to IDPH regarding the two Lefton properties.
