OSTI ID:6644726

The site of the former Agrico Chemical Company covers an area of approximately 30 acres. Based on the available information, it has been concluded this site is of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health from exposure to hazardous substances at concentrations that may result in adverse health effects. As noted in the Environmental Contamination and Physical Hazards sections, human exposure to arsenic, chromium, fluoride, nitrate, and benzene may occur through contact with contaminated ground water; human exposure to fluoride may occur through contact with sediments and surface water in on-site impoundments. Air and edible plant and animal exposure pathways were not addressed in the information reviewed for this Preliminary Health Assessment.
