Public Health Assessment for Cal West Metals (USSBA), Lemitar, Socorro County,New Mexico, Region 6. CERCLIS No. NMD097960272

摘要

Cal-West Metals (CWM) is a former secondary battery recycling facility inLemitar, New Mexico. Lead, antimony, arsenic, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were detected in soil on site at levels that could cause health problems if people were repeatedly exposed to them over a long period of time. Site cleanup was completed in spring 1995; no environmental pathways pose a human health threat. The Cal-West Metals site presents no apparent past or present public health hazard because past human exposures, if any, would have been intermittent at worst and highly unlikely to result in harmful effects.
