Health Consultation: NJ Natural Gas Co/Bay Div. Oper. Ctr. Analysis of Cancer Incidence Near the Atlantic Highlands Manufactured Gas Plant. Atlantic Highlands, Monmouth City, New Jersey. EPA Facility ID: NJD980530463.

摘要

This health consultation evaluated cancer incidence among people living near the former Atlantic Highlands Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) in Atlantic Highlands, Monmouth County, New Jersey. The investigation, requested by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) staff, evaluated total cancer incidence and 13 specific cancer types. The specific cancers types were selected because they represent cancer groupings that may be more sensitive to the effects of environmental exposure. They are not necessarily related to the specific contaminants found at the Atlantic Highlands MGP.
