Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5673537
The Action Anodizing, Plating and Polishing Corporation site is located in southwestern Suffolk County, New York in the Town of Copiague. The 1-acre site, which is on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Priorities List (NPL), is a small industrial facility located in a residential area. Action Anodizing has been operating at the site since 1968, sealing, cleaning, anodizing, and cadmium plating aluminum parts. Based on information reviewed, the site is of potential public health concern because of the potential risk to human health resulting from possible exposure to hazardous substances at concentrations that may result in adverse health effects. Human exposures to VOCs and heavy metals may be occuring via direct contact with potentially contaminated soils and inhalation of volatiles if soil vapors were to impact basements of structures near the site. Information about on-site and off-site contamination is limited. The site is not being considered by ATSDR for follow-up health activities at this time.
