Technical Report · Thu Apr 03 23:00:00 EST 1986

OSTI ID:7244835

The Davis Liquid Chemical Waste Disposal Site is 15 acres in size and lies in the town of Smithfield, Providence County, Rhode Island. Samples of liquids taken in 1977 contained chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, trichloroethylene, acetone, methylene chloride, and ethyl acetate. The levels of contamination on-site pose a small risk for skin and mucuous membrane irritation due to contact with the surface soil. The levels in the ground water pose a greater risk if exposure occurs.
