Public Health Assessment for Air Pathway Evaluation Isla De Vieques Bombing Range, Vieques, Puerto Rico.

摘要

In May 1999, a resident of Isla de Vieques (Vieques), Puerto Rico, requested that the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) determine whether contaminants released from the United States Navy's (Navy's) bombing range pose a public health hazard. This request was submitted as a petition to the agency. ATSDR accepted this petition and has since been investigating public concerns related to operations at the Navy's former bombing range.
