Health Consultation: Evaluation of Potential for Chemicals Released to Groundwater orSurface Water to Affect Drinking Water in the Nearby Community, Radford Army Ammunition Plant, Radford, Virginia, January 28, 2015. EPA Facility ID: VA1210020730.

摘要

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry’s (ATSDR) goal is to ensure that the people living near the Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP) in southwestern Virginia have the best information possible to safeguard their health. RFAAP has manufactured explosives and propellants for the U.S. military and other uses since the 1940s. In February 2012, a local community group asked ATSDR to evaluate whether contaminants from RFAAP could affect the health of people living near the facility. ATSDR agreed to evaluate effects of groundwater and surface water releases from the site. This health consultation will evaluate whether operations at RFAAP released contaminants into groundwater or surface water that could reach drinking water sources.
