摘要

The Osborn Connecticut Correctional Facility (Osborn CCI) is located in Somers,CT. Sand filter beds received tetrachloroethylene (PCE)-contaminated wastes from the on-site laundry facility. PCE-contaminated groundwater was detected in 1986 in one of the prison supply wells located near the former sand filters beds. Currently, the PCE contamination on and off the Osborn CCI site poses no apparent public health hazard. No other possible pathways of exposure have been identified for this site, aside from past groundwater exposure. Residents, Osborn inmates, and staff had consumed PCE-contaminated water in the past. These exposures were not sufficient to cause adverse health effects, nor should they impact the health of residents, inmates, or prison staff in the future.
