摘要

The objective of the study was to determine whether the prevalence of specific symptoms or diseases in persons living within a 1.5 mile radius of the former Caldwell Systems Inc. Site was different from that among selected, similar people not living near the site. This was a hazardous waste disposal facility in Caldwell County, N.C. Within the target area statistically significant odds ratios were found for irritative and neurologic symptoms in the areas north and south of the incinerator. Further examination of the residents living near the incinerator site is indicated in the report.
