Technical Report · Wed Oct 26 04:00:00 EDT 1988

OSTI ID:7147553

The Ciba-Geigy site is a National Priorities List site located in a heavily populated area of Dover Township, New Jersey, and is surrounded by a number of adjoining residential communities. Because of a diversity of past and present production and disposal operations, the site includes numerous on-site contaminant sources. Site contaminants consist of a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides, and heavy metals. Site contaminants have been identified in on-site surface soil and ground water, and in off-site sediment, surface water, ground water (including private residential wells), and air. The site is of public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by probable human exposure to hazardous substances at levels that may result in adverse human health effects over time.
