Title: Public health assessment for American Bemburg Plant, Elizabethton, Carter County, Tennessee, Region 4. CERCLIS Number TND980558563; Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:339586

The American Bemberg (Bemberg) site is on the west side of Elizabethton, Tennessee in a mixed industrial, commercial, and residential area. Site sampling data were evaluated and several metals, polychlorinated biphenyls, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were found to be at levels of potential concern in certain soils, wastes, and other materials. Ambient air quality data associated with Bemberg`s operations are not available and could not be evaluated. The available data indicate that certain on-site workers and ball players have been the most susceptible to exposure. Evaluations of available contaminant data and associated exposure pathways indicate that the site presents no apparent public health to on-site and off-site populations.
