Health assessment for American Creosote Works, Incorporated, (Winnfield Plant), Winnfield, Winn Parish, Louisiana, Region 6. Cerclis No. LAD000239814. Preliminary report
The 34.21-acre American Creosote site is a former wood treating facility located in the city of Winnfield, Winn Parish, Louisiana. Contaminants of concern include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzene, pentachlorophenal (PCP), and dioxin (2,3,7,8, TCDD). Completed exposure to these chemicals on the site and at the Creosote branch probably have occurred via incidental ingestion and dermal contact with soil, sediment, surface water and inhalation of air. Because there are indications that people have been exposed to site contaminants and because of area residents concerns of possible site-related cancers, a health statistics review should be conducted on cancer data and any other available health outcome data.
