Public Health Assessment Final Release: LaFarge Cement Plant, Ravena, Albany County, New York. EPA Facility ID: NYD002069557, July 25, 2013

摘要

In 2009, Community Advocates for Safe Emissions (CASE) requested that the New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) investigate the potential impact on community health posed by the cement plant located in Ravena, New York. To accomplish this, the NYS DOH is working with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) under a cooperative agreement to complete an overall assessment of the possible public health impact of contaminants released from the cement plant currently owned and operated by Lafarge Building Materials Incorporated. We are completing the overall assessment of the health impact of the cement plant in two sequential phases, each with a separate report. Phase One is completion of a Final Health Consultation (HC) report. Phase Two is completion of a Final Public Health Assessment (PHA) report, which is based on information presented and conclusions reached in the HC report.
