摘要

At the Cabot Carbon-Koppers hazardous waste site, the Florida Department of Health (DOH) and the US Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registrys (ATSDR) top priority is to ensure nearby residents have the best information to safeguard their health. The Koppers portion of this site is at 200 Northwest 23rd Avenue in Gainesville, Florida. Between 1916 and 2009, the Koppers facility made pressure treated wood which contaminated soil with chlorinated dioxins/furans. Nearby residents are concerned dust in their houses is a health threat. In this report Florida DOH and ATSDR evaluate EPAs indoor dust test results to determine if dioxins in indoor dust are a health threat.
