Public Health Assessment Final Release: Borit Asbestos National Priorities List Site, Ambler, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, January 9, 2015.

摘要

In response to the BoRit asbestos site (‘the site’) being listed on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Priorities List (NPL) and EPA’s collection of environmental sampling data as part of the site Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS), the Pennsylvania Department of Health (PADOH) prepared this Public Health Assessment (PHA) document. PADOH’s primary goal is to evaluate whether a community is being exposed to levels of contaminants that may harm their health and make any necessary recommendations to prevent and mitigate exposures, as well as to ensure that the community has the best information possible to protect public health. PADOH worked under a cooperative agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) to complete this PHA document.
