摘要

Operations of the former DuPont Pompton Lakes Works plant in Pompton Lakes, Passaic County, New Jersey resulted in environmental contamination of soils, sediments and groundwater, both on and off the plants site. Contaminants include heavy metals such as lead and mercury in soils and sediments, and chlorinated solvents in groundwater. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) are overseeing investigations to characterize the extent and magnitude of contamination and are responsible for ensuring that remedial actions are taken to protect public health and the environment. The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) and the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) are working with the community to understand and respond to public health concerns related to environmental contaminants.
