Health Consultation: Puchack Well Field, Pennsauken Township, Camden County, New Jersey. Cancer Incidence in a Section of Camden City Historically Served by the Puchack Well Field. EPA Facility ID: NJD981084767

摘要

In 2002, the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services (NJDHSS) and the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) finalized a Public Health Assessment of the Puchack Well Field Site (ATSDR, 2002). Based on the weight-of-evidence analysis of the health and environmental information compiled in that report, NJDHSS and ATSDR conclude that the Puchack Well Field represented a public health hazard due to past human exposures. The following report describes a NJDHSS cancer incidence investigation conducted specifically in response to recommendations contained in the 2002 Public Health Assessment for a health statistics review of the population which has been historically served community water from the Puchack Well Field Site.
