Health Consultation: Evaluation of Primary Metals in Private Drinking Water Wells in the Walker Area, Prescott, Yavapai County, Arizona. EPA Facility ID: AZ5120090068

摘要

In September 2005, some concerned Walker residents contacted the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) in regards to the quality of groundwater in the area. The residents petitioned ADHS to perform well water tests to determine the character of the water, and whether there is any potential health risk associated with consuming or using the water. In response to the concerned community members and in agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), ADHS collected water samples from the site and completed a health consultation. This health consultation evaluates if the levels of lead and other metals in the private wells in Walker area pose any adverse health effects.
