Health assessment for Rohm and Haas Landfill, Bristol Township, Pennsylvania, Region 3. CERCLIS No. PAD077883346. Preliminary report
The Rohm and Haas Landfill (RHL) Site is located in the Croydon area of Bristol Township, (Bucks County), Pennsylvania. RHL operated from 1952 to 1975 as a repository for wastes generated from manufacturing operations. On-site groundwater sampling results have identified benzene, xylene, bis, ether, toluene, trichloroethylene (TCE), butylbenzylphthalate, sodium, and chromium. In addition, DDT was detected in soil. Off-site groundwater sampling results reported TCE, perchloroethylene, and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene. TCE and methylene chloride were identified in off-site surface water and soil respectively. The site is considered to be of public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the likelihood of human exposure to hazardous substances. Direct contact with, ingestion, and inhalation of contaminated groundwater are the exposure pathways of concern.
