[2008-7-25]
Tag : Copper Plating
Values have been reviewed and they are levels that can be containedin residential soil and still be considered safe. Health officialsarrive at these numbers by considering variables such as age ofchildren, ingestion, inhalation and other factors.
The most conservation, or lowest, concentration for chromium is 210parts per million and zinc is 8,700 parts per million. Residentialsoil could then contain these amounts and still be safe. Results atthe Industrial Plating site and surrounding properties show levelsmuch lower.
"We were pretty pleased with the results," said Radig. "I thoughtthey may potentially come in higher than that but you never knowuntil you check."
Radig was happy with results because he could reassure residentsthere is no health concern or health risk to be worried about. Allsamples, unless identified otherwise, were collected from theground surface to six inches below the ground. Samples from thatpart of the ground represent the highest metals' concentrations.
The state health department also reported the majority of debriswithin the building has been removed and anticipate that portion ofthe clean up to be completed by the end of next week.
