摘要: On February 4, 2008, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) was petitioned by the Director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) to evaluate potential health impacts from metals measured in residential community air in East Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio. Since 1999, the Ohio EPA has conducted fixed-site air monitoring at three locations in the East Liverpool community (Maryland Avenue, the Port Authority, and the Michigan Avenue Water Plant). The objective of the monitoring was to evaluate the potential impacts to ambient air quality from the Von Roll (now Heritage) Waste Technology Industries (WTI) Incinerator Facility in East Liverpool. Ohio EPA recently completed the East Liverpool Ohio Air Quality Study which indicated health risks from exposures to airborne manganese and chromium exposures (Ohio EPA, 2008a). Ohio EPA identified the SH Bell Company, a raw products storage and packaging facility, as the source of ambient manganese and chromium sampled in community air monitors (Ohio EPA, 2008b). The City of East Liverpool is located 3.5 miles southwest of S.H. Bell (see Appendix A), though a relatively dense residential population exists near the facility. East Liverpool has an approximate population of 12,000 (U.S. Census, 2007). The land use in the area is mostly residential and agricultural, with industry located to the north and south of the city along the Ohio River.
