Public health assessment for Boomsnub/Airco, Vancouver, Clark County, Washington, Region 10. Cerclis No. WAD009624453. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:104344
The Boomsnub/Airco Superfund National Priorities List (NPL) site involves two adjacent plants, Boomsnub and Airco. A commingled groundwater plume of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and chromium emanates from the site. The site is classified a public health hazard because of the threat to the municipal water supply. Contaminants from this site have not yet been detected in the municipal water supply which serves about 50,000 people. Chromium has been found in private wells near the site at levels not considered a public health threat. Because of the large amount of chromium lost at Boomsnub, plant workers in the past may have had high levels of exposure. No information has been found to assess possible worker health effects.
