Health assessment for Janesville Old Landfill, Janesville, Wisconsin, Region 5. CERCLIS No. WID980614044, November 16, 1990. Final report
In compliance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) has prepared Health Assessment reports for sites currently on, or proposed for, the National Priorities List (NPL). Health Assessments are also prepared for non-NPL sites in response to requests from States and individuals. In the report, the presence and nature of health hazards at the Janesville Old Landfill site are assessed, and the public health implications specific to the site are evaluated. The Health Assessment is based on such factors as the nature, concentration, toxicity, and extent of contamination at the site; the existence of potential pathways for the human exposure; the size and nature of the community likely to be exposed; and any other information available to ATSDR that is relevant to a determination of potential risks to public health. The results of a Health Assessment are essential for determining the need to conduct health effects studies at a particular site.
