Public Health Assessment for Curcio Scrap Metal, Incorporated, Saddle Brook Township, Bergen County, New Jersey, Region 2. CERCLIS No. NJD011717584

摘要

Curcio Scrap Metal, Inc. is a one acre site located at 16 Lanza Avenue, Upper Saddle Brook Township, Bergen County, New Jersey containing two active scrap metal recycling businesses. Analytical sampling revealed the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) from transformers that had been cut up. The USEPA, in September 1984, found three different PCB's, lead, copper, nickel and trichloroethylene in on-site soil samples. Several oil spills have been reported. The ATSDR and the NJDOH consider the site to be a public health hazard in the past via the ingestion pathway to on-site workers, scrap metal haulers and trespassers, based upon the chronic oral exposure to contaminated soil between the early 1950's to 1994.
