Public Health Assessment for Tooele Army Depot (North Area) Tooele, Tooele County, Utah EPA Facility ID: UT3213820894.

摘要

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) conducted a public health assessment (PHA) to evaluate possible exposures to chemical and physical hazards and to respond to community concerns about past and current exposures to contaminants associated with the Tooele Army Depot (TEAD). TEAD is an active military installation which currently includes an area occupying approximately 25,000 acres in eastern Tooele County, Utah. As part of the PHA process, ATSDR conducted an initial site visit from April 13 to April 17, 1998, and revisited the site from January 17 to January 24, 2001. This document summarizes the site-specific information reviewed by ATSDR, provides an explanation of the process ATSDR uses to conduct a PHA, and presents the results of our analysis and evaluation of public health hazard (i.e., the potential for community members to be exposed to harmful contaminants detected at TEAD).
