Public Health Assessment for Gentile Air Force Station (a/k/a US DOD Defense Electronics Supply Center) Kettering, Montgomery County, Ohio. EPA Facility ID: OH3971524357

摘要

Following a request from the Air Force Real Property Agency (AFRPA), the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) conducted a public health assessment (PHA) for the Gentile Air Force Station (Gentile AFS). As a part of the PHA process ATSDR reviewed environmental information describing the investigations, sampling results and remediation actions performed at Gentile AFS and scientific literature describing how chemicals used and disposed at Gentile AFS act in the environment. ATSDR also attended an Open House on January 29, 2004, sponsored by the Air Force. The purpose of the open house was to provide the local community with information about the environmental clean up activities performed at Gentile AFS. ATSDR used this opportunity to meet with residents and gather information about the situations where residents may come into contact with Gentile AFS-related chemicals. ATSDR used the environmental information and community exposure concerns to identify potential exposure situations and evaluate if residents could be exposed to contaminants at levels that could affect their health. This report describes our review and evaluation.
