The former pesticide formulation facility of FMC Corporation Agricultural Group, (FMC-Yakima), is located in the southern portion of the City of Yakima, Washington. During the formulation of various pesticides, chemical leaks and spills occurred. An on-site waste disposal pit was utilized for 17 years, which resulted in the contamination of subsurface soil and ground water. 8 chemicals are considered to be of human health concern: aldrin, dieldrin, alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), 4,4'-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), endosulfan, ethion, malathion, and 2,4-dimethylphenol. Human health exposure pathways of concern include inhalation of contaminated dust, dermal contact and ingestion of surface soil and ground water, and dermal contact with contaminated concrete on-site. FMC-Yakima is considered to be a public health hazard since there is evidence that exposures have occurred and there is a possibility of future exposures.
