Has exposure potential of trespassers, remediation workers, and regulators been assess?
Yes these exposure potentials have been assessed. Persons working on or visiting the site (without proper personal protective equipment or not taking appropriate personal hygiene measures to prevent exposure) are likely exposed to lead and other metals in surface soil. Due to the presence of the slag piles and the current conditions on the site there is also the potential to be exposed to lead via the air pathway. ATSDR does not have air quality data to determine the degree at which these exposures are likely occurring.
