Health Consultation: Payne Road Solvents, Bessemer City, Gaston County, North Carolina

摘要

During a conference call on August 1, 2006, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requested that the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) evaluate current groundwater data associated with the Bessemer City tetrachloroethene (PCE) plume site in Gaston County, North Carolina. In June 2006, EPA collected and analyzed water samples from 29 private wells for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Private wells in this area provide water to homes, churches, businesses, and restaurants. EPA asked ATSDR to determine whether current exposures to VOC-contaminated groundwater are of public health concern.
