摘要

The Environmental Health Investigations Branch (EHIB) within the CaliforniaDepartment of Health Services (CDHS) has prepared this public health assessment under a cooperative agreement with the federal Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry (ATSDR). The public health assessment is a mechanism to provide communities with information on the public health implications of specific hazardous waste sites and to identify those populations for which further health actions are indicated. The Chrome Crankshaft and J&S Plating sites operated as electroplating facilities between the 1950s through the 1990s. Site characterization and remediation activities are under way at both sites. This public health assessment addresses municipal water quality for the City of Bell Gardens, in the areas which are near the Chrome Crankshaft and J&S Plating hazardous waste sites. Health concerns have been raised by the community surrounding Chrome Crankshaft and J&S Plating sites, and parents and faculty of the neighboring Suva Elementary and Intermediate Schools.
