摘要

On May 21, 2001, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a request for technical assistance from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding a Superfund Site at a former tannery, Independent Leather, in Gloversville, New York. The request concerned remediation workers' potential exposures to biological contaminants from animal hides, fleshings, and hair, which were abandoned when Independent Leather declared bankruptcy in 1994.
