Technical Report · Thu Nov 15 23:00:00 EST 1990

OSTI ID:6404289

The Tonolli Corporation site is a former lead battery recycling plant and smelter located in Nesquehoning, Carbon County, Pennsylvania. The site was proposed to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Priorities List (Update 7) in June 1988. Sampling of environmental media on-site and off-site indicate contamination by inorganic chemicals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, and barium) in ground water, soil, sediment, and surface water. The primary pathways of potential public health concern include inhalation and ingestion of contaminated dusts and soils in residential areas, and ingestion of contaminated ground water. The site is being considered for follow-up health effects studies.
