Health Consultation: State of Illinois, Mount Grenwood No. 2, St. Louis Avenue and 117th Street, Chicago and Merrionette Park, Cook County, Illinois

摘要

In June 2004, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) received a data package from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) for the Mount Greenwood No. 2 site in Merrionette Park, Illinois. Illinois EPA asked IDPH to provide a health-based interpretation of environmental samples it collected in response to requests made by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the local community for an investigation of the property. The soil samples were analyzed for metals, volatile organic chemicals, semi-volatile organic chemicals, pesticides, and polychlorinated biphenyls to determine whether the site currently poses a public health hazard.
