Health Consultation: DDT in National Park Service Buildings at Big Spring Within Ozark National Scenic Riverways National Park Area, Carter County Near Van Buren, Missouri.

摘要

In August 2014, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) Introduction prepared a health consultation in response to a request made by the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) to evaluate pesticide levels in the indoor air of several park buildings within Ozark National Scenic Riverways (ONSR), National Park area 30 years after application. The health consultation provided exposure estimates to airborne pesticides and identified buildings in the ONSR park where pesticide exposure could be reduced. The health consultation identified the potential for the presence of DDT on indoor surfaces in some rental cabins and recommended surface-wipe sampling for confirmation. This health consultation addresses the results of the recommended DDT surface-wipe sampling.
