Technical Report · Mon Oct 24 00:00:00 EDT 1988

OSTI ID:5284030

The Shenandoah Stables National Priorities List site is approximately 35 miles northwest of St. Louis, Missouri. Horse shows, breeding, and training were conducted at the Shenandoah Stables during the 1970s. The indoor horse arena was sprayed with waste oil on May 26, 1971. The waste oil was contaminated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD). Illness in animals and humans occurred with three days of the spraying. Although there is no evidence of significant current human exposure to 2,3,7,8-TCDD from the site, the site is of public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by probable human exposure to hazardous substance at concentrations that may result in adverse human health effects. Human exposure to 2,3,7,8-TCDD has probably occurred via the ingestion, inhalation, and direct dermal contact with the contaminated soil.
