Health Consultation: University of Minnesota Stadium, Thermal Treatment of Creosote-Containing Soils, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota

摘要

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) requested the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) evaluate the potential for emissions from thermal treatment to impact public health. This is a technical health consultation without discussion of exposed populations. This Health Consultation is confined to discussing issues directly related to the thermal treatment of creosote-contaminated soils and does not address the overall Stadium site cleanup. MDH has relied on MPCA to evaluate whether data submitted by the contractors reflects potential emissions that could occur during thermal treatment. In addition, MDH has relied on the MPCA's review and acceptance of dispersion modeling of these emissions, and resulting calculations of the potential public exposures to emissions.
