In response to concerns about possible adverse public health impacts of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2378-TCDD) and other toxic chemicals in Midland, Michigan, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) initiated a series of multi-media environmental studies in the Midland area. The major purpose of these studies is to define current environmental levels of 2378-TCDD and other toxic pollutants such that public health officials can make assessments regarding the potential public health risks associated with exposures in the area. The studies are also focused on determining the source or sources of these pollutants, and providing additional information and data which will be useful to the state of Michigan and the USEPA for environmental permitting for the Dow Chemical Company, Midland, Michigan plant.
