Public Health Assessment for Vienna Tetrachloroethene Vienna, Wood County, WestVirginia EPA Facility ID: WVD988798401

摘要

In this public health assessment, the Agency for Toxic Substances and DiseaseRegistry (ATSDR), evaluates the public health significance of the proposed Vienna Tetrachloroethene National Priorities List (NPL) site in Vienna, Wood County, West Virginia. ATSDR has reviewed available environmental and health outcome data and community health concerns to determine whether adverse health effects are possible. In addition, this public health assessment recommends actions to reduce, prevent, or identify more clearly the possibility for site-related adverse health effects. ATSDR, in Atlanta, Georgia, is one of the agencies of the U.S. Public Health Service. The Superfund law (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization act of 1986 (SARA)) requires ATSDR to conduct public health assessments of hazardous waste sites within 1 year of the site's proposal to the NPL. On April 23, 1999, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed the Vienna Tetrachloroethene site be considered for the NPL.
