Health Consultation: Public School 51X, Bronx Borough, City of New York, May 27, 2015.

摘要

The New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH), under a cooperative agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) reviewed environmental data (sub-slab soil vapor, indoor air and outdoor air data) and evaluated the public health implications of the indoor air data that were collected at the former Bronx New School (PS 51X) at 3200 Jerome Avenue in Bronx County, New York. The United Federation of Teachers (UFT) requested a public health consultation and assessment in an August 5, 2011 letter from the President of the UFT to the Petition Coordinator for ATSDR. This health consultation summarizes the NYS DOH’s public health evaluation of the exposures to contaminants in indoor air at the former school resulting from soil vapor intrusion by chlorinated solvents under the school.
