The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), a public health agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, today announced the release of the final Public Health Assessment for the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant site in Paducah, Kentucky.
Following an evaluation of available relevant information, ATSDR concluded that, under existing conditions and normal operations, this site poses no apparent public health hazard for the surrounding community from current (1990-present) exposures to groundwater, surface water, soil and sediment, biota, or air. No apparent public health hazard means that people might be exposed to contaminated environmental media (e.g., air, water, soil) near the site, but this exposure is not expected to cause any adverse health effects.
