Health assessment for CTS Printex, Inc. , Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California, Region 9. CERCLIS No. CAD00912838. Preliminary report
The CTS Printex site, located in Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California, has been proposed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Priorities List (NPL). The California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) is the lead government agency for the cleanup at the site. Printed circuit boards were manufactured at the facility from 1966 to 1985. Wastwaters containing heavy metals and volatile organic compounds (VOC's) from the manufacturing process were discharged to a neutralization sump which was then permitted to discharge to the city of Mountain View sewer system. Based on information reviewed, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry has determined that this site is of potential public health concern because humans may be exposed to hazardous substances at concentrations that may result in adverse health effects. Human exposure to VOC's may occur via inhalation of ambient air inside the 'wet floor' building (especially in enclosed spaces) if it is occupied in the future. Appreciable exposure to groundwater contaminants does not appear to be occurring at this time. The site is not being considered for follow-up health activities at this time.
