Title: Site-specific surveillance project at the Koppers Company, Inc. , National Priorities List Site, Texarkana, Texas. Final report, March 1994

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7273652

A site-specific surveillance project was conducted at the Koppers Company, a National Priorities List site. The findings indicated that living in the Koppers area was associated with a higher prevalance of reported rashes than among residents of a similar neighborhood in Texarkana not located near this site. Koppers residents did not appear to have higher rates of either adverse pregnancy outcomes or cancer than comparison residents. They did have many more concerns about their soil, water, and chemical odors in their neighborhood than did residents of the comparison neighborhood.
